Come back the country I love
Come back the country I love
Come back and put
Food on my table
Come back and bring me
Peace & Love
No one is excluded
and I belong here again
Not trembling over words
Or the bang at the door
It is you who don’t belong here
anymore

The Black Sea
Green
Green
Green
As far as the eye can see
Like,
Green
Green clouds
Hugging the earth
And me
Sea
Sea
Sea
Rugged dangerous
Enveloping me
The People
The People
The People
Safe and secure in their own skin
Unique in pleasure
Happiness overflowing into me
Green Green
Sea Sea
The People The People
And me

In A Far Flung Place Democracy Has Died (Turkey 2016)
Journalists cower under the covers
Fearing the thud thud at the door
Lesbians and gay men can’t hold each other
As its sodomy by their laws
In a far flog place
Western music is a gas
Free thought toxic
And they want no beer in your glass
Books are being stripped from the shelves
Writers are stamped upon
Western dress frowned upon
Your daughter must learn ...
