Ömründe böyle kadın göremezsin
Ömründe böyle kadın görmedin
Ve görmeyeceksin
Hatta ölsen bile
Tanrı'nın sana sunacağı armağan
Benden ziyade olmayacak.
Ölümde ve yaşamda beklediğinim çünkü
Göremediğinim, görülmeyecek kadar
Gözü öldürecek kadar ışığa sahibim
Karanlığa alışkın gözlerinin
Seçemediğiyim.
Görmede zaten
Eksik ki gördüklerin
Bakmış olsan bile -bile diyorum-
Yani sen sevmiş olsan bile, sevişmiş
Hep sevişmelerin
Tamamlanamamış
Yarıda kalmış
Uykudan uyandırılmış
Tam evet derken hayırlarla telefonlar çalmış
Hep ağzında bozuk kahve tadı
O kadınların
Güzelim tarlalardan topladıkları
Ama yinede
Erkeğin eli değince çirkinleşen
Beyaz ekmek,kirlenen.
Nihayetinde,
Kadın dediğin benden öteye gidemez.
Ben Hürrem ve Victoria ve de Elizabeth
Ve Mona Lisa'nın saklı gülmesi -şifresi-
Frida'nın
Kleopatra'nın Makedon soyu
Ve tarihteki tüm kadınlar
Bir kere illa ki hürrem,
Anastasia adıyla
Yahut Avrupa saraylarında Roxana
Ama muhakkak Hürrem
Henüz ders kitaplarına girememiş
Ve bir parça Havva'dan elma
Ve bir güzel Piraye
Ben adına şiir yazılan tüm kadınlarım
Ben Nazım'ın 'saat 21-22 şiirleri'ndeki kadınım
Ve imparatorların para için reddettiği savaşların
Ve komutanların tecavüz ettiği namusların
Ve dahası senin nefret ettiklerin
Ve sevmemek için direttiklerin,
Hepsi benim adım.
Ben seviştiğin tüm kadınlarım
anla artık.
Bu yüzden hiç aldatmadın beni
Bu yüzden hiç ayrılmadın benden
Aksine ben terketmedim hiç seni
Anla.

Küçülen Gözlerim

Gözlerimin küçülmesi,
Küçük gözlerim,
Korkutuyor beni.
Bakışlarımda mı küçülüyor,
Sanıyorsunuz?
-Göz ve bakmak uşağı aynı duyunun-
Büyüyorlar inadına,
Benim yeşilim daralırken,
Onlar mavi üretiyorlar inadına.
Küçük gözler ürkütür beni.
Milletin genetiğine –geleneğine-
Saygım sonsuz ya,
Yine de büyük olmalı göz dediğin.
Doğumun hediyesi değil,
Yaşamın sonucu olmalı.
-yaşamanın-
Saklamalı ve açmalı boyuna
Karanlık ne varsa
Renklere yansımayan
Işık geçirmeyen ne varsa
Tutup Aşil’in topuğundan
Vurmalı.
Küçük gözler yapamaz bunu
Minik ve ufak
Ve dahi kaybolmuş.
Gözlerim küçülüyor sanıyorsunuz
Bakmıyorum, görmemek adına
Ve duymamak gibi
Gören yerlerinin sesini.
Sadakati eksiltilmiş ne varsa
Küçük ve büyüğün adaleti
Orta direk cesareti
-Ecevit mavisi-
Ve hatta
Gözlerimin küçülmesi bile
Yetmiyor,
Bakışlarımın mübağalasına
Alası ve de
Kocaman yüzlere
Küçücük gözler satıyorlar
Dikilmiş kirpikleriyle
Korunmasız –toza,toprağa-
Ve var bir şey
Daha
Dahası
Benim gözlerim kadar dünya,
Bu, gözü hayatın
Ve
Ağlıyor.
Indigenous People of Canada

Indigenous people are the original people of Canada. Today, they don’t have enough political power and they have small area for live. Because, The Canadian government did this by; aboriginal people over the resources that the land provided, such as the wild and land for farming. So, aboriginal people leaved from the land . Ethnically and culturally difference make some power’s issues in society. Also, some people don’t like aboriginal people. Because their culture is more different than the others. Perhaps, because of these reason, their life style was changed by Canadian government . British culture is being learned to aboriginal children by Canadian school and teachers. Children can’t learn original culture and language. Therefore, aboriginal culture and language began to die. Mostly, aboriginal children was hypnotized by British culture that is aboriginal families was broken up . Furthermore, Canada recognized the aboriginal peoples as nations special rights in last thirty years. For example, Canada government provide different rights about medical care, housing and education. Also, aboriginal people have different rule about tax. We can see that their future is still uncertain.

UNICEF (The United Nations Children’s Fund) said that, in the developin countries, educate to children is really important but difficult, especially girls. Because, children have to work and their families don’t take care. In the poor countries, education is usefull about keep children healthier and girls can grow into women with good jobs. Then, these countries’ economies can be stronger in the long term. However, girls can not go to school and they don’t have any choice. In 1997, EWE (Education for Women’s Equality) started a residental school. This school teach read, write, also sports (including karate) health care and republic speaking in the poor countries. We have an example in this context, Lalita Kumari. She lives i India’s poorest state of Bihar. In there almost tow-thirds of the population is living in poverty. Lots of parents want girls to get married at ealier age. Like to Lalita’s family, they wanted her to get married when she was 10 years old. They didn’t expect her to learn and write. She didn’t want to get married. So she learnt to read at age of 12. Then she studied at residental school. After attending the EWE’s program, she started to teach to other girls karates in the residental schools.
a general problem that education of children, especially girls. In much parts of the world, especially poores countriest, girls cannot go to school. Usually, this countries aren’t fuly developed or their goverments don’t have enough money. In this context, EWE’s program (residental school) is very important and usefull. Lots fo girls can get to educate with residental schools. If these schools can reproduce, more children can benefit with that. Lalita’s life was good example about girls of education. However, Lalita is a just one. We can find million girls that like to Lalita. If other girls hear or see her life, they may want to be as Lalita. (or another Lalita) Then,they can demur to community’s formulaic opinions. But we should ask these question; why the girls cannot go to school? How can we change to this aspect?

Kitawaga Utamaro’s Cooling off by the Riverbank and Mary Cassat’s In the Omnibus both depict two women and a child. These paints were painted by different painters who have different culture and country. Cassat was American and Utamaro was Japan but we can see similar topic on both picture such as relationships with women and children. Because both painters use the same style which is realistic figures and they have lived on a close time period. Also both picture were made in 19th century. People look anxious but calm in the both paints. Therefore, these outlooks make confuse who look at pictures. In the Cooling off by the Riverbank two women wear traditional clothes in contrast to In the Omnibus. First picture has crowd background but other picture has simple backround. In the background we can see some canoe on the river in the first picture while a series of three windows are behind them in the other picture. In the Cooling off by the Riverbank, the child collor to one woman’s hand. However in the Mary’s paint, the child sit on the woman’s lap. Nevertheles, women seems to interested with children. Clearly, two painters were realist and their times were same but they unknown to eachother. Nevermore, two different pictures tell to us similar things.
Egyptian Civilization: A Brief History

Egyptian History included three periods: the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom and the Nem Kingdom that periods affected to traditional Egptian’s art. Firstly, the Old Kingdom began around 3100 B.C.E when Menes established his capital at Memhis and founded the firs of the thirty-one Egyptian dynasties. Menes also called by Narmer who is powerful pharaoh. In this period the pyramids were built for keep the body of the pharaoh safe. According to Egyptian beliefs, the soul or ‘ka’ remained with the body until death and after the death ka left the body for a few time. However, ka returned and united the body again as travel to the next world. For this reason, pyramids were built for protect to pharaoh’s body because in the eyes of people pharaohs were both king and god. On the other hand, thieves destroyed the pharaoh’s body also stole the gold and other treasures. So, sculptors began to create statues of the pharaoh.
Second period began 1800 B.C.E when The Hykos came to Egyptian lands with horses and chariots. They won easily because Egytptians were not knowledge with use horses and chariots. During the Middle Kingdom, stopped construction of the pyramids and people began to built pharaohs’ tombs in rock cliff instead. However, the Hyksos destoreyed many statues so this period was really difficult for both life and art. But, some portraits seems suprisingly realistic which created in the Middle Kingdom.
The New Kingdom that last period of Egptian history began in 1570 B.C.E also they learnt to use horses and chariots. So, Egyptian had power and ruled over neighboring nations. Thebes, the royal capital, it was a golden age of Egypt also it became glorious city in the world. Ikhnaton came to power in 1372 and he changed their religion and art system. Artists became more realistic and relaxed during to live of Ikhnaton and monotheistic religion was established with Aton. (symbolized as the sun) However, when Ikhnaton was died, new religion wasn’t continued to believe by people. Alexander the Great of Macedonia brougt his army to Egypt in 332 B.C.E, Egypt’s time of power and fame was ending with the era of the New Kingdom came to close. Three periods included three main points; Egyptian art reacted by Egyptian political and religious terms also dynasty.
Egyptian history is really interesting for me because it include many things with together such as art and religion. Three periods have different features and expreinces. For example, in first period pyramids were started to built but after this period they stopped. But we can’t see anything about pyramids and I have some question. Did they built the pyramids for just one period? Is it enough time? I wonder what happened to pyramids in the Middle Kingdom? What did The Hyksos do? Also, in the Middle Kingdom art became more realistic than first period. What is the reason? Is war? The Middle Kingdom seems difficult for life but this difficulties affected to art. After this period we can see art was still realistic with Ikhnaton but when he died old customs became popular for both art and religion. I wonder why the people prefer to polythestic faith and old rules for arsists returned? Nevermore, I can say that, art affected by their history.

beyaz elleriyle bir kadın
ve küçük
beyaz elleriyle
onca yolu geldi de
onca yol eskitti de
bir kadın beyaz elleriyle.
çocuk yüreğinin
olgunlaşmamış
ve dahi yeşil
meyvesi düşünce dalından
mevsimsiz ve
dahi yeşil yine
toprak oldu kadın.
toprağa baktı, kızıldı
anaydı ve babadan uzaktı.
yorgun bir kokusu vardı
bakır gibi dense demire yazık
ve demir dense gümüş alınacak
asla altın değil ve yahut yakut
bakır belki kızıl ve belki eski
ve emekçi bir testi
topraktan bakıra ve
sonra yine toprağa
şarap için ya da su
ama hep yazda anılacak.
beyaz kadın, beyaz ellerine
kına yaktı.
kızardı.
motiflerinden düz ve doğaldı
kızgın ve güzel bir kırmızıydı
ya
yine de çocuktu hala
yani hamdı
ve kadındı
beyaz olmanın temiz lekesiyle
alındı, boyandı ve satıldı
başka bir elde beyaz gibi bir
gri gibi bir
ve güzel siyah gibi
işte öyle renkli bir günahta
ve ana temeli tabloların
ve sanatın
ve renksiz tüm sevaplarda
ve tanrıdan yoksun bir adakta
yıldızlarıyla kaldı.
beyaz kadın beyaz olmasına beyazdı ya
yine de küçük elleri vardı
küçük ellerine nazaran büyük hevesler
ördü, yaptı ve attı.
çöp oldu sonra
ardından yeni
ve sonra yine
eski
çöp ve de
utandı ve çocuktu hala
yani mahrumdu
yani masumdu
teşbihin kusuruydu
yaşamı
muktedir olan
kıraç bir huydu
korktu beyazdan kadın,
bıktı velhasıl beyaz,
kadından
öyleyse dedi
öyleyse ben deki bu yıldız
ve güneş,
ve yılan korkusu,
ve küçük prens,
ve onun çoşkusu,
ve kum kokusu,
öyleyse kadın
beyazdı
çocukluktan çalıntı
bir hatıraydı.
beyaz kadının kızıl limana varınca yolu,
hikayemizin öykü boyutu bir nebze soluklandı.
kadın kadın olalı görmemişti böyle beyazlık,
masum ve dahi yırtıcı ve aslandan ziyade albatros.
albatrosu bilirsiniz, beyazdır, kadından
ve sarıdır gagası, adamdan.
albatros gibi bir gece
yani onun kanadından
kara ve siyah
bir alfabenin ilk harfi ve de
başlangıcı ve anlamsız bir
yada derin bir katil
müptelası soba kömürünün
ve kestanenin
ve kış ayazında giyinilen
içliklerin,
a gibi -ağa yada ağu belkide-
öyleyse, dedi kadın,
-ve hep beyazdı hala-
ısrarla ve katilin gözlerindeki
bozuk düzende
ısınması mevsimden
düşmesi yürümekten
bir öyleyse dedi
ve kadının,
zehirinden peydahlandı
ve yılanın
devası bu vebanın.
ve kadın
tüten ellerini, buğusuyla,
daha tüterken dumanı,
beyaz ellerine bej vurdu.
hamken meyve oldu.
