Mesut Goktas Poem
When I fell in love with you,
I imagined that our love would take place
between your heart and my heart,
Unfortunately, after a while,
I figured out that it would happen
between your mind and your heart
between my mind and my heart
and between your mind and my mind
not between you and me
I think we’d better give it up
as it sounds rather scarry

Mesut Goktas Poem
In order to avoid the sun
I sat in the shade of a tree
licking my ice cream,
I thought it was a great dream,
Yet what I saw was the life itself
melting away off my ice cream

Mesut Goktas Poem
Whenever a country in poverty
but rich in natural resources
is in dire strait
whatever is done by wealthy countries
is only for it to take the bait

Mesut Goktas Poem
The causes of World War I,
factors such as political,
territorial
NATIONALISM,
and economic competition,
BENEFITS,
and not to let it ocur,
the breakdown of the balance of power
SUPERIORITY
as well as a series of diplomatic clashes
PRIDE
The causes of World War II
strong currents of revanchism in German politics,
PRIDE;
the worldwide economic crisis,
BENEFITS,
many people lost faith in democracy
and countries across the world
turned to authoritarian regimes,
and their ambitious and aggressive domestic and foreign policies
NATIONALISM
To those three peculiarities – NATIONALISM, PRIDE, BENEFITS,
we should also add two more today – OVER POPULATION that the earth cannot feed,
and CLIMATE CHANGE
What do you think the causes of World War III will be?
Well, no need to be a prophet to say what will happen
Now all those outcomes are visible in our time
Nevertheless,
The only thing that we want is
to live all around the world in peace
how can we manage to do that?
In the way one of the greatest leaders in history,
Mustafa Kemal ATATÜRK said
“PEACE AT HOME, PEACE IN THE WORLD”

Mesut Goktas Poem
If you plant dummy politicians
in the field of politics,
you will just feed on
decaying policy or corruption
the result is inevitable,
individual adaptation,
dramatic rises
in conspicuous consumption
social destruction,
and eruption,
the final stage,
reconstruction

Mesut Goktas Poem
Every day,
I feel that
I have to learn
one more word,
When I use
each one
after the other,
the combination
rocks
my whole world

Seconds after shaking my head
in benign amusement,
I got it,
our social class was a major determinant

Mesut Goktas Poem
Almost all people just try to steer
their own life cars
in their own ways,
few, through wide highways,
a great number,
through narrow lanes
with no gains
but in too many pains
so they all swear
at not what they haven't done
that they should have done,
but at their own fates

Never bare your soul,
otherwise, you will most probably
have created your own black hole
