So we've become dogs too!

The pro-government enthusiast and chief intellectual Orhan Gencebay has once again shown no bounds in his sycophancy, writing a song for the AKP's Istanbul candidate Murat Kurum...

Writing it wasn't enough; he even took the stage with Murat Kurum to perform the song to show his active support...

Some citizens criticized this situation...

And how dare you criticize?

The wife of the sycophant-in-chief Orhan Baba, Sevim Emre, opened her mouth and let it all out...

"My husband is a figure above politics. If he wanted to, he could even be President. Let the dogs bark, let's ignore them."

*

I won't lie, I'm saddened...

But for the dogs!

Because some ignorant people still use the word "dog" as an "insult or profanity." As far as I can tell, Sevim Emre is one of them...

The words of the poet Nefi, written for the mufti of his time, Tahir Efendi, who called him a kelp (dog), came to mind:

"Tahir Efendi has called me a dog...

The compliment in these words is evident.

For I am of the Maliki sect;

In my belief, a dog is tahir... (clean)"

This nation will love you, crown you, and even call you "father"...

For years, they will try to soothe every pain and sorrow by listening to your songs...

Throughout your artistic life, you will always appear to be on the side of the oppressed, the scorned, and the helpless...

You will even rebel, saying "Let this world sink"...

Those people who love you will see the change and transformation in you over the years and experience great disappointment...

They will even turn a blind eye to you becoming a palace artist...

For the sake of those lyrics you wrote and the songs you made, they won't cast you out of their hearts...

But when you take it to the level of sycophancy by "writing a song for a politician," they won't be able to tolerate it and will try to criticize you just a little...

And your dear wife will come out and call those people "dogs"...

That didn't sit well, "Orhan Baba..."

*

If you are going to insult, what do you want from the dogs?

Are you that primitive?

Has your vocabulary become that weak?

Call them "scoundrels," call them "wretches," call them "fools"...

But don't say "dog"...

I'm not saying this just because I am a Maliki like Nefi...

I'm saying it because the nature of dogs resembles you more than it does us!

A dog is loyal to its owner to the death; just like you!

Just as loyal as you, just as ready for every command as you!

If they say run, it runs; if they say lie down, it lies down!

Just like you do everything you are told to "do"...

If it receives even the slightest harsh treatment, it immediately bares its teeth...

It growls and attacks, wanting to hurt you, to tear pieces off you!

*

As for us "Orhan fans" whom you try to insult by calling us "dogs," we are rebellious!

We say "shame on those who serve the servant," and we rebel.

And this time, our rebellion is precisely against this...

For a great artist, whom we have shared our love, our separations, and our pain of death and exile with for years, to serve the servant is worse than death for us...

But since you cannot tolerate even the slightest criticism... then it means you have never deserved this love.

*

For the last 15 years, you have been a great bitterness within us...

After this insult...

You are null and void...

Those old songs that no longer belong to you are enough for us!
