-çünkü bizim kanatlarımız gökyüzüne bağlanmıştır kevok.-
(arsız bir kalabalığın içindeki çamura batırılmış kanatlarımızın ziyanı çocuklarımızın kaderine değmiştir.kendisinden olmayanı sorgulamış tanrılar çoğalmış,bizi o en kötünün belleğiyle anmıştır kevok.halbuki bize bir kere sorulsa ağaçlarımız ölmeyecek.kökümüzle güzü kıskandıracak,dağlara kuraklık getiren kimsesizliği ,bekleyişin gözlerdeki bitap düşmüşlüğünü şurada taaa içinde muskalara sarmış ana sabrıyla diriltecektik kevok.)

amazing how everyone is painting soleimani as a hero because he fought daesh, meanwhile completely ignoring that he was also a war criminal. you can be against american imperialism and interventionism without praising the iranian regime. you can oppose american imperialism and interventionism without glorifying and mourning someone who was complicit in the death of innocent lives. is that really so difficult to grasp?!
Soleimani was directly responsible for the death of 500 Iraqi protestors. 500! He was a criminal just as much as the Americans are. Both Iran and the US use Iraq to further their own interests
