“We Are Turkiye (The Sonnet) Earthquake may shatter our houses, But it can never shatter our hearts. We shall rise from the rubble once again, We shall build back against nature's curse. But this time let us build back better, By putting our faith in science not politics. We could've averted such cataclysmic terror, Had we heeded the warnings of scientists. A scientist works to preserve life, Politician plays publicity with death. Given the choice between the two, Listen to the scientist without wait. Why do people have to die for us to open our eyes! If we still fail to heed reason, nothing will stop the funeral cries.” SciencePolitical ScienceGeologyNatural DisasterEarthquakeDisaster PreparednessDisaster ResponseListen To ExpertHelp TurkeyTurkey Earthquake Book:Vande Vasudhaivam: 100 Sonnets for Our Planetary Pueblo Source: Vande Vasudhaivam: 100 Sonnets for Our Planetary Pueblo
