Famous actor Fırat Tanış received great acclaim for a poem he recited during a program he attended.

The poem by Aşık Veysel garnered thousands of likes on social media in a short time.

Here are the lyrics of that poem:

He thinks of no one but himself

He stands in such a high place, he does not come down

Many who ascended the throne fell to the ground

Flies swarmed those who kept saying 'me, me, me', anyway...

Do not look down on me, my brother

Are you gold and am I bronze?

We have been created from the same existence

Are you silver and am I sheet metal?

Whatever is in you is in me

The same existence in every body

Even the one who enters the grave tomorrow

Are you full and am I hungry?

Some are mullahs, some are dervishes

God has given us so much

Some are bees gathering flowers

Are you honey and am I chaff?

Every body is from the soil

Kill your ego before you die

The Creator has commanded it so

Are you the pen and am I its tip?
