The Philosophy Of Kemalism Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

True wisdom embraces
the knowledge
that no singular mortal man

alone without the eureka
insights of God
given moments can foresee

past all the fortuitous
opportunities
arising kaleidoscopic

decisions repercussions
reverberate
through lives individual

effecting families nations
when people of power
impose their mighty will.


Therefore rejoice Türkiye
elected power is constitutionally
given to your voting people

this is a vision legacy given
by great father of a Turkish nation
blessing generations unborn

enlightenment positivism rationalism
realism pragmatism and secularism
imparted into a constitution sacrosanct.

This is the vision of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
a philosophy of peace prosperity for all
a philosophy to inspire all future generations

a philosophy that should inspire
an entire world lacking refined wisdom
alas world rejects Turkic inspired wisdom.
