Bahtiyar Hidayet Azerbaijan
A corrupt official
Delivered a speech made of very worthless and meaningless words.
The elderly, well-dressed people at the meeting stood up and applauded him.
…Sometimes standing up is also a sign of slavery.
At a banquet, a toast was raised in honor of a dishonorable man.
The middle-aged people stood up and drank.
Those same people who, when the homeland was in danger, had never stood up—
All of them had hidden under their beds.
And
…Sometimes standing up is also a sign of slavery.
At a concert,
A very vulgar singer,
Who had had dozens of paid men in her life,
Sang a low-quality song about pure love.
Young people stood up and applauded.
…Sometimes standing up is also a sign of slavery.
But in one courtroom,
I saw a man who had committed serious crimes many times.
When they said “Stand up, the judge is coming,” he did not stand.
“I don’t believe in your justice,” he said.
He became an example for the elderly, the middle-aged, and the youth.
Sometimes standing up becomes a sign of struggle.
By the way,
One of the judges was elderly, one was middle-aged, and one was young.
