This poem, can never be told without a stream of tears. I fight them back as I type. The inhumanity captured by Siamanto in his poem would make even the stoniest of hearts crack.Today is the day of commemoration to the dead. I think of you collectively, my ancestors all, whether through blood, language, culture or simply our membership of the one human race that inhabits this planet. I grieve for you, I salute you and pray for your day of justice when the world as a whole, including Turkey, recognises the inhumanity of the crime of its forebears in inflicting genocide upon you. Rest in peace!I read the poem but it was translated from Armenian by Shant Norashkharian and can be found at this link (The Dance by Siamanto - Famous poems, famous poets. - All Poetry).
