For years and years.

               We gave our lives.

               When we saw other friends resisting we lowered our heads.

               We went down other roads.


               We did not see, we were blind.

               Sometimes now our brothers look at us but do not see us.

               We shout out but sometimes it is as though we are behind
          glass.

               We are looking at you.


               Do you see us? (AS)

               Our Sweaters Are From Kazova, Our Friends Are Produc-
          ing

               The workers in the Kazova resistance have now gone over to
          production after occupying their factory. The sweaters have been

          sold in factories and park forums in Sisli at 30 TL apiece…

               When you talk of factory occupations, you think of examples
          from Latin America, and these have lit up like a wicker fuse, if
          Turkey had been a bit behind on this score, this is no longer the
          case. The headlines above that you can read are just some exam-
          ples.
