“They Are Not Gokturk”
They say “Turk”
but their blood says otherwise.
Their steps never touched
the steppe.
Their mouths never spoke
the wind.
They carry Ottoman,
not Orkhon.
They kneel to empire,
not the sky.
No wolf raised them.
No elder carved their truth
into stone.
They pray like sultans
and forget the gods
their ancestors never knew.
They say “we are Gokturks”
but their hands are soft,
their stories borrowed,
their power inherited —
not earned.
The real Gokturk rides alone.
The real Gokturk remembers silence.
The real Gokturk answers only
to wind,
to fire,
to oath.
So wear your Ottoman robe.
Speak your Ottoman tongue.
But do not claim
the name
you cannot bleed.
I – the Kurd – AM GOKTURK.
IT IS OVER.
AND NO – I AM NOT KURDISTAN –
I AM JUST KURDISH
