POEMS BY PINAR DOGU 

TO THE END

 Oh, phoney dreams and colorless sky

Each beauty is losing its worth in time

Life is passing under the shadow of wars

Little or big, bloody or unbloody

 

Where by unvisible words among guns

only military orders or gut-wrenching requiems

when it comes peace, only silence

The world is fading out from shoot to shoot

How can we distinguish

to be blind or  to be in dark?

 

where are speaking-mirrors?

they should blame us why our hands are tied

as and when required to look at ourselves

the silence harbors cruel and hidden battle plans

we are, in every moment, losing our unborn children

oh time lord, when is the end

before the last child is sent to the front line?


                       WANTED!

                             

we, all peace-seekers, are labeled as guilty

what about comrades who give an order to the soldiers

to annihilate people, to invade the cities, to ruin every single piece?

What about rapers who harass women and children?

What about attorneys who exploit the evidences?

What about judgers who slap criminals on the wrist?

What about spin-doctors who make fake news?

What about every single line which hallows the war?

 

But, just only we are guilty in the eyes of government

We, all peace- seekers!

 

There is a poster on the wall

Peace

        WANTED!


 SATURDAY SATURDAY

                                                              For Saturday Mothers

 

 

They know each other from their pains

Like a blackhole in their wordless scream

They are standing there over the years

Like a stable goat in steep hillside

They are adopting dolour and expectance

Like an agave which bushes out only in lonely hearts

They are keeping their silence everytime

Like an age of silence without weep and squall

They are waiting only an answer

Like a festering sore in their soul

 

And there is blood all over the words

We can’t see PEACE, even a letter
