will produce ourselves and direct ourselves. We will get the ma-
chines back from the Somuncu family that we earned with our
labour. But we do not want to go without engaging in production
while waiting for the end to the court case. So with the help of
our people we will get our own machines,” they said. After the

KAVEL

I said wife to my work, I will say Kavel to my wife

And while my breath is not exhausted in this insatiable world
While my flesh is not interfered with by the sun
I will sing the folk song of the Kavel strikers.
And if the Kavel strikers permit it,

If my brothers and sisters the Istinye workers permit it,
And if I can keep control of myself or keep control of my voice
In the place where that shepherd’s fire is burning in Kavel
I will be betrothed to my wife among my friends

I will kiss my betrothed at the door of Kavel
And if my brothers and sisters the Istinye workers permit it,
If the Kavel strikers permit it
I will name my first child Kavel.
