Rüzgar

My name is Rüzgar.
I go wherever I want.
No wall stops me.
No border holds me back.

I have passed through Azerbaijan,
where the mountains still carry
the echo of war.

I have crossed Türkiye,
moving between old cities
and ancient olive trees
that remember hands that planted them.

I have travelled over Palestine,
where grief hangs in the air
like dust that refuses to settle.

I have flown across Brazil,
over forests that once seemed endless,
watching the green disappear
tree by tree.

I have crossed the United States,
over cities that shine all night
and plains so wide
they swallow the horizon.

Everywhere I go
I see the same story.

I watch them cut the forests
that cooled their ancestors.

I watch them choke the seas
that fed their children.

And still they ask
why the earth grows restless.

So I keep travelling.
Through ruined cities.
Through wounded forests.
Across tired oceans.

And everywhere I go
I carry the same question.
Why do you destroy
the only home you have?

My name is Rüzgar.
