another translation of a Turkish poet from the blog FORGOTTEN HOPES
I am the poet of beautiful days
I get my inspiration from happiness
I talk to the girls about their dowries
About amnesty to the prisoners
I give good news to children
To children whose fathers are in the front lines
But it is so hard
So hard to tell lies
(Yalan by Melih Cevdet Anday, translated by Rukiye Uçar)
