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?
