ATATURK
Ataturk! Ataturk! Selanik
Heard first your voice, your father’s pick
Was post him there, from Kodžadžik
O! Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Eyes Deep blue,
“A military life’s for you”
His mother said, “t’will see you thro!”
Grows Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Soldier’s Soul
Attuning to his country call
Fast flying knife or steadfast wall
Fights Ataturk
Ataturk! Ataturk! Bravery!
Defender of Gallipoli
“Fling English, Anzacs, back to sea!”
Sings Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Never Frets!
As Chunuk Bair desp’rate gets
He held that ridge with bayonets
Brave Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Goes To Meet
The Kaiser, trenchwork tours complete
Opin’d, you soon will see defeat
O! Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Help Us Please
The Greedy Entente moves to seize
The Sultan’s empire, squeeze-by-squeeze
Woe, Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Black Sea Shore
Steps on sand to start a war
Global Powers him deplore
O! Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Up & Down
Over the hills, town-to-town
Leading the people without a crown
O! Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Nothing Lack’d
He orchestrates the national pact
“Our pure existence is attack’d!”
Choose Ataturk!”
Ataturk! Ataturk! Urges, Goads,
However bad the prospect bodes,
The peasant soldiers take to roads
For Ataturk
Ataturk! Ataturk! Quite unique
France defies & fights the Greek
A star & a cresent are on thy cheek
O! Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Darkness Star
Liberates Afyonkarahishar
Victorious at Dumlinipar
O! Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Heights Of Fame
The Greek cast back from whence he came
A land of heroes sings his name
O! Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Civic Spree!
Out of the Ottoman debris
Builds up modern democracy
Praise! Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Heaven Sent!
Proclaims republic government,
First plebisitic president!
O! Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Wisdom Grows
your Kemalism’s, ‘Six Arrows,’
Reforms across the land propose
O! Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Visit Me
Bring your promise you’ll set us free
Sing all the girls of Kayseri
O! Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Surname Law
Nations, tribe, religion or
By foreign culture, named no more
O! Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Statesman Bold
As fierce as Tartar chiefs of old
Whose Grey Wolf instincts, manifold
Watch Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! World Sensation!
Non-religious education
Frees the child & feeds the nation
O! Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Rights enshrin’d
Equalizing womankind
Lives releas’d fom slavish bind
O! Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Dots & Lines
A better alphabet designs
Scripts Arabic to crypts consigns
Wise Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Culture Sought
Thro’ ‘Peoples’ Rooms’ Turkiye taught
Film, Music, Drama, Books & Sport
Thank Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Chang’d His Hat
Some fashionista autocrat
“The Fez, we’ll have no more of that!”
Claims Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Feeling Ill,
But there’s forces of reaction, still,
Whose dissent made mute by his sheer will,
O! Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! Dead Too Soon
Your head crown’d by the Crescent Moon
Whose face still makes the ladies swoon!
O! Ataturk!
Ataturk! Ataturk! While The Sun
Rises, each day, on everyone
We’ll carry on what you’ve begun
For Ataturk!
