I wanted to see what was happening.
Switched the TV to CNN Turk.
A penguin documentary filled my screen.
While CNN International was live on the scene.
We are all penguins
But some more than others.
Police brutality unites
Children and mothers.
Bring us your tear gas,
Some water from your cannon
The camera goes both ways
We will force you to re-examine
Your brutal theft of all we hold dear
Your violence, your hate, your culture of fear.
Your encroachment upon our secular state
Your attempt to undermine us. Alienate.
This park is a symbol
One of many last stands
I pity you having to watch
As our movement expands
This isn’t about one country
One city, one town
This is global resistance
And we’re not backing down
Our Freedom of expression,
Our Freedom of assembly
Our Freedom of press
Our right to expect nothing less
You have taken our liberty
Our sight and our lives
Now sit back and watch
As your world crumbles and dies.
Because we’re not resting until
You tumble from power
Until you beg for forgiveness
Hour after hour
We are all penguins
But some more than others.
Police brutality unites
Children and mothers.

They call it police state. That is how Hitler started and we know what was the rest of it…
