One Page Of Turkish History. Poem by M. Asim Nehal

From the Stone Age artifacts shrouded in mystery,
To the modern day fast paced life.
From the Roman empire to Greek civilization
To the Persian empire and now the Turks or Turkey.
From the Byzantine rules to the Sassanid rules
To the conquest of Alexander, the great and Mehmet II
The land has seen some great rulers and leaders
The pillars and the walls of Hagia Sophia if given a tongue
Will narrate the stories of the past rhymes and hymns
Now stands as Republic of Turkey part in Asia and part in Europe.

Surrounded by the Black Sea on the northern front
On Southwest and west by the Mediterranean Sea and
the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Marmara between the European and Asian land
It has Pontic Alps Mountain, Anti Taurus Mountain, Mount Ararat
and Himalaya Mountains.

A land with the modern touch of Europe and ancient feel of Asia.
