Geçen Eylül ayýnda
Anne olmuþtur . . .

– Kutlu olsun Anna’nýn da Anneler Günü –

*** 
Anne olunca dünya
Çocuðun balonunda
Elde bir naylon sicim
Anne hep uçurtmada

Çocuk büyüdü mü güneþ
Hep annenin gözlerinde
Elde bir eski þemsiye
Çocuk hep izlenmede

Sus düþer senelere
Çocuk hep ayný çocuk
Sonsuza dek korunmalýk
Annenin fedakâr yüreðinde…

AFRICA, MY AFRICA…

Africa, My Africa

By Ola Joseph Kolawole

Back in the years of the b.c.
When I was but a spirit in the heavenlies
Spying over the happenings on this miraculous planet,
I majored on the study of continents…

I had special interest in this spectacular one
Traced back to Cush, a man of colour
Blessed by Eledua – the Creator of creation
Obviously vast, leading her equals

Her land expanded by the hours –
They called it Ethiopia and the Egyptian empire
She was first in making wonderful inventions
And not lagging behind in linguistics and education

Her map became a riddle for the WISE:

Looking at the map from the west,
I see a gun.
Firing out intellects and academics
Imparting the whole wide world with wisdom.

Looking from the east,
I see a big foot,
Walking around the world
Preaching her precious cultural heritages

Looking from the north,
I see a big Yam,
Everybody comes to take a bite
>From this yam that gives a taste of divinity

Looking from the south,
I see a big steady rock
Many come to it for shelter –
Others, to mine from her treasurable resources.

Now, here is the riddle for the WISE –
Shall we pull the trigger of the gun with our foot…
And fire out a bullet of yam to the rock…
And perhaps, Africa will be that Goshen again?

Selah!

STUTTGART ERDOGAN UZKINAY (1927-2002) EXHIBITION…

ERDOGAN UZKINAY (1927-2002) KARIKATÜR SERGISI

8 Mayis Cuma günü Stuttgart Baskonsoloslugu’nda acilan
“Erdogan Uzkinay” Karikatür Sergisi, biz karikatürcüler icin oldukca anlamli.
Zira, bircogumuzun tanimadigi Erdogan Uzkinay,
Türkiye’nin ilk kameramani Fuat Uzkinay’in oglu ayni zamanda..
Uzun yillar Almanya’da yasayan, Stuttgarter Zeitung’da cizen Uzkinay,
ne yazik ki kendisiyle tanisamadan 2002 yilinda aramizdan ayrilmis.
Bir Alman dostunun, karikatürlerine sahip cikarak bizlere ulastirdigi orjinaller
gercekten görülmeye deger.
Her karikatürün en az 5 kez eskizini calistigi orjinallerde saglam bir desen ve
kivrak bir mizah gücü hakim.
Onu hayattayken taniyamamak büyük kayip.
Yakin dostu Kudret Gül’ün Istanbul’da sergisini acmak icin
Karikatür Müzesi’ne basvurdugu ancak olumlu bir yanit alamadigi
üzüldügümüz bir baska gercek.
Hayattayken tanimadigimiz, sahip cikmadigimiz bu usta cizere
bir vefa borcumuz oldugu düsüncesindeyim.
Bugün, beni telefonla arayarak 40. Yil Etkinlikleri konusunda bilgilendiren
Metin Peker’e Uzkinay’dan bahsetmeyi unuttum.
Dilegim, bu serginin gelecekte Karikatür Müzesi’nde veya
Sulanahmet Dernek Galerisi’nde acilmasi.
