Triumph of the Human Spirit: The Tale of Korkut

In the wake of disaster's wrath, a soul
Endured the depths of terror, pain and thirst,
Trapped beneath the rubble, Korkut's goal
Was simply to outlast the earthquake's curse.

With courage born of desperation's drive,
He drank his urine and ate petals fair,
Setting his alarm to stay alive,
His thoughts focused solely on his prayer.

But as the days passed and his strength waned,
His hope grew faint, his fears began to reign,
The darkness deepened and the voices strained,
As Korkut's will to live was put to strain.

But in the end, his spirit was not broken,
For rescuers came and set him free,
Their efforts proof that love and hope have spoken,
And given Korkut back his life and liberty.

So let us all remember Korkut's story,
A symbol of the human will to glory.
