MAKİNA

Yoksulluk üzerine kafa yormazlar
Ama kazandıkça fakirleşirler
Hiç roman okumayı sevmezler
Şiir bilmezler
Gözlerinde bir sevgi parıltısı göremezsiniz
Çünkü sevgileri bile makinalarda üretirler

Onlar neyi görseler vurmak isterler
Ormanları yok ederler
Su kaynaklarını tüketirler
Dala konan küçük ardıç kuşunu vururlar
Irmaklara ve göllere düşman kesilirler
Denizleri çalarlar

Onlar güvecinleri vururlar
Onlar martıları bile vururlar

Ö.G.

 

MACHINE 

They don’t bother themselves with poverty
But the more they earn the more they become poor
They don’t like to read novels at all
They don’t know poems
You can’t see sparkle of love in their eyes at all
Because they produce with machines even love

They want to shoot whatever they see
They annihilate the forests
They consume water sources
They shoot little juniper birds that perch upon a branch
They become an enemy of rivers and lakes
They steal the seas

They shoot even pigeons
Even seagulls.

By Ö. G.
