Dunyanin en buyuk kucuk mucizesi cok gencken iyi bir
Ogretmene rastlamaktir.
Buyuk mucizelerse yalniz kutsal kitaplarda bulunur.
Bugun artik o gun.
Bugun, yillardir karanlikta kalmis buyuk bir haksizligin aydinliga kavusturulacagi o gun!
Biraz sonra, yllar once yapilmis buyuk bir kotulugun kalbi sokulecek.
Biraz otede buyuk bir iftiranin gizi cozulecek ve bunu yapacak olan kisi, simdi sizinle konusanin ta kendisi.
Adaleti yerine getirecek olan benim!
Bugun onu yeniden gorecegim, yillar sonra onunla bulusacagim; cunku bizim yazgimizda karsilasmak var.
Bugun iste o gun.
Her ne kadar yillarca saklamak durumunda kalmis olsamda o buyuk haksizlik hic aklimdan cikmadi. Her ne kadar olanlar hakkinda pek bir sey bilmiyormus gibi davransamda cok sevidigim birine yapilan o kotulugu hic unutmadim. Her ne kadar insanlik disi o iftiraya tanik oldugum sirada cok genc olsam bile bunu unutamayacak kadar da buyuktum. Her ne kadar o sirada erdem ve adalet kavramlari bana birkac beden buyuk gelse de bu, onlari hissetmeme engel degildi. Kotuluk ve haksizlik konusuna gelince, bilirsiniz bunlar zaten cok erken yaslarda ogreniliyor. | Translation - English POETRY'S SISTER STORY
The world's biggest small miracle is to meet a great teacher at a very young age. As for the big miracles, these are only found in sacred books.
Today is now that day.
Today is the day that a great injustice, which has been kept in darkness for many years, will be reunited with light!
In a while, the heart of a great evil, which was carried out years ago, will be unstitched.
Just further down there, the mystery of a great slander is going to be revealed and the person to do this is the very person talking to you right now.
I am the one who is going to put justice in its place!
Today I am going to see him again; I am going to meet with him after many years, because to meet is written in our destiny.
Today is now that day.
No matter how long I have had to hide it, that great injustice has never been out of my mind. No matter how I have acted as though I did not know much about them, I have never forgotten the evil that was carried out on a person I loved very much. No matter how young I was at the time I witnessed that inhumanly slanderous act, I was old enough to never forget it. It did not matter that the concepts of righteousness and justice were a few sizes too big for me at the time; this did not prevent me from understanding them. As for evilness and injustice, you will know that these are things we learn about at a very young age. |
