Poem
Ytb! Ytb! You understand we had a contract? But what happened ytb? You were such a savior to many, A dream come true for many, Why did you abandon us ytb? We came to Turkey you were nowhere to be seen, We thought you were busy but you are never free, We looked for dormitories on our own, Although you had promised to help, The journey was like Winterfell at kings landing. In the dorm, we meet angry and furious face, You could think they were chasing dragons mother, They gave us tea without sugar, cheese without bread, We complained in murmuring voices like ants, But they said “burasi turkiye”. Ytb! Ytb! Why did you tell us before? We went to the streets and avenues for fresh air, But we meet, green, blue, red and brown eyes examiners, Didn’t they ask how are u? No! No! they just asked, Musluman misin? Nerelisin, turkiye neden geldi? Of course, we didn’t have answers to that. Ytb! Ytb! Our only pride was being at Tophane, Where we meet a lovely lady called Gözde, She was the only queen of the throne in our hearts, She gave us hope, listening to us like john snows, But we still waited to hear from you ytb. The worst wasn’t over as soon as we left Tophane, Be it in bus, train, or “vapur” we survived through suspicions, Turkish men looked at us as if we were competitors in their small ecosystems, They maneuvered like the Shannara chronicles with prying eyes, Closing the gaps of their fangs as leopard crushing Zebras bones. Ytb! Ytb! Did you know that the dorms we are leaving 4,5,6? The smell, snoring and farting atmosphere creates ozone layers? The “yurt mudurlar” are always praising how they offer world-class services? Ytb! Ytb! What went wrong with “world-class experience” promises you gave us? Anyway, we are still waiting for you our dear friends Ytb. As I wrap up ytb, Istanbul is the best place to have your offices, To help and motivate the “çocuklar” in our universities, Don’t deny them Erasmus because Turkey is home to them, And they want to visit abroad also, Ytb! Ytb! Hope we understood each other.
