Tanrınator (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Yüz Şiirlerin Yüzüğü (Ring of 100 Poems, Bilingual Edition): 100 Turkish Poems with Translations

To the christian I’m christian –
to neonazism, I’m nazarene ravager.
To the jew I’m just a jew –
to zionism, I’m thunderahava.

To the sanatani I’m advaitin –
to hindutva, I’m narasimha.
To the muslim I’m sufi fakir –
to islamism, I’m tanrınator.

To the atheist I’m rationalist,
to the militant I’m apocalypse.
To the intellectuals I’m an idiot,
to the narcissist I’m cataclysmic.

I’m a brother to every
believer and nonbeliever alike.
I’m the bridge that unites the shores,
I’m the bulldozer that obliterates divide.
