WRAP US IN A SHROUD NOW, NOT OUR BABY…

ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ (GREEK) TÜRKÇE (TURKISH)

We have forgotten so quickly, haven’t we?

The young people we lost in a car swept by the flood to the bottom of a cliff because there was no barrier next to one of the busiest motorways,

Hundreds of mothers, fathers and loved ones who perished in traffic accidents due to insufficient safety measures,

Again, the killing of a child by the state—who stepped on a landmine—due to insufficient security measures,

Again, the loss of many lives in hospitals due to negligence in health, our elderly that we cannot protect in the face of decay…

Shall we count more… Is this enough death for us?

Has this order killed babies now?

Haven’t we had enough of drinking BLOOD?

Have we become so insensitive to death, so far from protecting a LIFE and so vicious!

The ‘Minister of Health’ makes a statement: What needs to be done will be done…

Even what was given to the babies could not be determined for a long time. Then the hospital management announced that pure alcohol WAS MIXED in the babies’ formula feed!

And the saddest part is that the family of the ‘NEWBORN’ baby who passed and the families of other newborn babies fighting for their lives in the intensive care unit were not even informed.

What can be more painful than this for our society?

The nurses were negligent, but what about those in charge of them?

I read a comment under the growing call for the MINISTER’S RESIGNATION!

The comment reads, “It is not as though the minister killed her, right?” Unfortunately, this society has fallen into the grip of such a deep and blind ignorance.

Is the minister a scarecrow? What sort of a mentality are we living with!

A minister who says that he covers up such negligence for the sake of the ‘confidentiality of the investigation’?

Supposedly, it was the police who said that families should not be informed due to the ‘confidentiality of the investigation’. The minister says that he went along with this advice. How many more days and hours did you need to determine who might have been responsible for this negligence?

Is this how you take responsibility? Is this how to carry out the investigation ‘safely’ by hiding it first from the grieving families and then from the society?

A human being died due to negligence.

And those in the chain of negligence are busy hiding the truth from public opinion.

Whatever we say now will be considered as politics, and whatever we say will not be enough.

Even if we cry and cry and cry, the dead baby will not come back.

In this established order, we will all die one day. Our baby is the most recent victim of this failed system.

It is as if she has perished in the hands of those who established this order.

Another ray of light has faded in the hands of RECKLESS AUTHORITIES lacking merit and the ability to inspect.

Now they will put that baby in a tiny coffin and bury her.

But don’t let the baby forgive us. We couldn’t protect her.

We, who live in this damned order, have allowed another life to be taken.

No matter how much we cry, or swear, no matter how many people we might punish due to negligence, nothing is going to change.

As long as these RECKLESS FELLOWS can find a seat to rule us, IT-IS-NOT-GOING-TO-CHANGE!

Unless we change this, we are all responsible for what has happened.

Ah, whatever has passed has passed…

So wrap US in a shroud now, not our baby…

Say a prayer for the dead now, and say,

Let alone resign, they couldn’t even retch on this unjust order they built upon greed and theft!

WE are all responsible,

Because we couldn’t keep her little heart beating in our big hands…
