I'm not a Chapulcu since someone says so.
I'm dominant in Gezi Palas.
I will get that I am not a Chapulcu since he says so.
I don't see any irony in this anymore.
I have many words for those who accuse others.
Why I'm here? Although it looks like it's Gezi Park...
I actually came here for this reason:
There was a sudden attack to those people...
...who wanted to protect the trees here in the Gezi Park.
But, this was just a spark, and it grew...
Now I'm here for many things... -you'll see it around-
People are here for many other reasons besides the Gezi Park.
It was the final straw indeed...
I'm here since I'm a woman.
I'm here for the embargo imposed on my body...
...since I'm trying to be assimilated to that other 50%,
...since I have been forced to behave like AKP followers, event I'm not one.
I'm here since I believe that rainbow should have all the colors...
...and to stand against AKP who tries to paint it all black.
I'm here for the animals in the streets...
...and since I'm against censorship of art.
I'm here for those who were murdered in Uludere...
...and for the government who legitimize this ***.
I'm here to stand against the government who has not apologized...
...from hundereds of people who were murdered in Reyhanli due to its political mistakes.
I'm here since I don't have that "almond mustache" :)
...and for the existence of people who "think".
I'm here since I believe that the people who cannot think cannot govern those who can.
I'm here since AKP is where the symbolic democracy collapses.
...want more??
I can keep going if you need :)
It's not personal; this a public resistance.
...not attached to any political party. Yes, there ones from a party or an organization...
... and fortunately they are with us, because we cannot do well by ourselves.
I've been here for 15 days... down in Gumussuyu and Besiktas, right in front of the barriers
...carried the wounded and helped them recover from the tear gass
I have only one weapon - well, three actually-
...the first one is my mind, ...have been using it up to now
...but it did not thing to them.
The second one is my heart; however we cannot defeat them with love...
The last one is my body; so, despite all the tear gas, I'm not running away.
I'm shielding for the trees and Independence.
I don't throw any stones or Molotov cocktail or something...
I'm just NOT running away...
...for those who died; they couldn't even run, were captured suddenly.
The ones who lost their Independence, could not run...
The ones who were censored are also here...
I just have a body... and I'm shielding... that's it...
