Try and (not) write…

Try and write,

And write about art, at that…

Witness the suffering in Gaza one day, watch the hopelessness in the eyes of children and the injustices in many corners of the world, and the next day, have the image of a woman's violence placed before you…

Witness the law and the constitution being trampled upon one day. Let the concept of justice lose its meaning, and you, try to breathe in a world where our rights and freedoms are usurped...

The rebellion of the retiree, the murder of the taxi driver; each is a separate story, each is a pain that tears us apart.

Try and write,

And write about art, at that…

In the midst of all this pain.

The helplessness of words, the inadequacy of carrying the true weight of the tragedies experienced...

Still, could writing be a way to express our inner storms and understand what is happening?

Could writing to tell these tragic stories, and writing by using art, become part of an effort to give meaning to the difficulties we face?

Many questions in my mind…

There is also the risk of falling into the situation of 'combing one's hair while the neighborhood burns.'

Then I say let it be, no matter what anyone says…

Write…

And write about art, at that…

I know that if we do not write, the deaths of children in Gaza will remain just a cold statistic we see in the news.

The artist must also write in their own style.

The helplessness and resistance between the lines on a painter's canvas can turn into the cry of these children.

If we do not write, we will miss the opportunity to understand the pain women experience and to take a stand against these sufferings.

Let us write, but it is best if the poet writes too.

Only in the poet's verses can these pains be voiced and the deep wounds they leave on the soul be described.

The rebellion of the retirees, the murder of the taxi driver; let us write so that these do not remain just news headlines…

Law, constitution; the fundamental pillars of society are shaking. Let us write so that art can depict the tremor and call those who watch to think and take action…

Therefore, let us also write to exalt art.

Let us write so that the power of the pen and art can become a catalyst for change by keeping society's values and conscience alive.

Perhaps art can form a foundation for the reconstruction of society after these difficult days and lead to a future where justice is re-established one day.

In a world where all values are destroyed, the resistance of art can keep humanity's goodness and belief in justice alive.

Therefore, let us write…

And these sad stories may, one day, sprout a hope where the light will shine again.
