#goekhan
gökhan is turkish
it means: ruler of heaven
first time i met you:
september 3rd 1993
first day at school
we looked at each other
we wanted to sit together
we became friends
how sturdy you were
people always thought you
were much older
but me?
i had a babyface
hated my babyface
wanted to look older due to my
fatherless childhood
always wanted to be my own dad
wouldn't work though
so gökhan became my daddy
father figure and protector
i looked up to you my man
ruler of heaven
six years later you died of cancer
i rushed to the hospital
countryside germany
when entering your room
aware of your death
i saw your stiff body
and you were smiling
i will never forget that
gökhan
an african-turk growing
up in germany 1990s
called gökhan tatchouop
lost the battle against cancer
sixteen years old
and he really died with a smile
because he was a good man
who did the right thing
as i get older year by year
i could be gökhan's dad by now
you're with me

my best friend gökhan tatchouop
you are gone
faded out like a song
you will never come back
i we we i lost track
you will never come back
the brothers and sisters
are protecting the platform
golden dusty hair
sitting on rusty chairs
guardians of the right cause
a good man does the right thing
i transformed into a nightling
as i listened to your voice
the last time as you
wrote your last rhyme
we were poets
we were taggers we were brothers
we were the same and an other
we longed for fame
you are gone gökhan
you will never come back
but you remain in the dust of
the brothers and sisters
they will never leave
they are always there
guardians of the platforms
guardians of trains
like gods supernatural
creatures: violent protectors
willing to attack anybody
who spits against your grave
REST IN PEACE MY MAN
SINCERELY MIKEY YOUR FAN
