I don't believe it!

Over the last 20 years, I have lost my faith in everything. That is why I do NOT BELIEVE in anything, my friend.

If it's a disease, it's a disease; I do NOT BELIEVE what is being said!

I do NOT BELIEVE their faces that drip with hypocrisy!

I do NOT BELIEVE the statements!

You might believe the growth rate figures, for example... But I do NOT BELIEVE!

Inflation is supposedly this or that... Oh, come on, I do NOT BELIEVE it!

I do NOT BELIEVE the unemployment statistics, nor the numbers regarding those who lost their lives in the earthquake.

I do NOT BELIEVE even the statements about our population!

They say “We will go down” and I do NOT BELIEVE; they say “We will go up” and I do NOT BELIEVE!

They say “We will do it” and I do NOT BELIEVE; they say “We will not do it” and I still do NOT BELIEVE!

I do NOT BELIEVE their nationalism, I do NOT BELIEVE their piety, I do NOT BELIEVE their love for the homeland!

***

I do NOT BELIEVE the diplomas they could never show, the declarations of assets they are legally required to disclose... I do not believe the fairy tale that they made all their wealth thanks to the wedding rings on their fingers!

I do NOT BELIEVE their anger; I do NOT BELIEVE their fights, their threats, or their sentences that start with “Eyyyyyyy!”

I do NOT BELIEVE their kind words, their friendships, or their enmities.

I do NOT BELIEVE their illnesses or their health.

I do NOT BELIEVE anything they claim to believe in.

The referee decisions in matches...

I do NOT BELIEVE their scales, their balances, or their measuring tapes!

I do NOT BELIEVE the lawyers, and I certainly do NOT BELIEVE the prosecutors or the judges.

I do NOT BELIEVE the so-called leftist artists who get into debt up to their necks in Cyprus casinos... That is, I do NOT BELIEVE the Yavuzs or the Bingöls.

Sometimes I look in the mirror and I don't even believe in the 22-year portion of my own life that has passed under the hegemony of these men.

***

They have rotted us, they have hollowed us out...

They have destroyed our love, our tolerance, and our sense of solidarity.

They have stripped us of our humanity and turned us all into animals:

They have made us say, “Thank God I found my prey today and filled my stomach; the rest doesn't really matter.”

They have taken our faith, our trust, and our innocence from our hands...

That is why... I do NOT BELIEVE the education provided in schools...

I do NOT BELIEVE the doctors in hospitals...

I do NOT BELIEVE the soldiers in the barracks or the headquarters!

I do NOT BELIEVE and I do NOT TRUST that they will lend me a helping hand when I am in a difficult situation!

***

I do NOT BELIEVE their prayers...

Their supplications...

Their Umrah visits that they go on every other minute!

I do NOT BELIEVE their televisions, their newspapers, their news, their bulletins, their panels, or their seminars...

I do not even believe their “scientific works!”

I do not believe in the “scholarship” of the cronies who were made rectors in their time...

I do NOT BELIEVE the science academies that give science awards to the project of a clock that recites the call to prayer!

Forget all of that...

I do not even believe the pregnancy tests they perform!

***

After so many lies, so much fraud, and so much plunder, I do NOT BELIEVE their “holier-than-thou” attitudes.

That is why I do NOT BELIEVE in the theater of normalization in politics either.

I do NOT BELIEVE not only them but also their partners!

I do NOT BELIEVE their bloody hands, their spiteful eyes, or their thorny tongues.

I do NOT BELIEVE that we will become decent people or get out of the pit we have fallen into with this mindset!

I do NOT BELIEVE their Court of Cassation, their Council of State, their Court of Accounts... I do not even believe their Constitutional Court.

I do NOT BELIEVE their democracy...

Their justice...

Their fight against corruption and poverty...

Their promises of freedom!

***

I do NOT BELIEVE that they don't think of the state treasury as their father's safe!

I do NOT BELIEVE the oil and natural gas they find during election times...

The astronaut they sent to space...

I do NOT BELIEVE that the tunnels they built won't explode, that the bridges won't collapse, or that their highways won't crumble into dust.

I do NOT BELIEVE the fake intellectuals who scramble to curry favor with them...

The charlatans...

The swindlers...

The opportunists...

The traitors...

And the so-called opposition that can never manage to topple them!

Please BELIEVE...

Like millions living in this country, I have lost my trust, my faith, and my respect for everything!

I am fed up with the shortsighted people who remain mere spectators even to disasters.

I am tired of their foundations, their sects, and their associations!

Breathing the same air as the dishonorable people who sold tents to earthquake victims on their most difficult day is what brought me to this state!

I am disgusted by the schemes, the setups, and the bombastic speeches.

In short, I no longer BELIEVE or TRUST in anything.

***

I do NOT BELIEVE their victimhood either...

Nor the coups they claim were staged against them...

Nor the emotional exploitation with songs and hymns on their anniversaries!

***

I only know that the truth has a habit of coming out sooner or later, and I am LONGINGLY WAITING for that day!
