Light Good Natured Karachay Peace Poem by Kimberly Burnham

"Duniya" means peace and light in Karachay
"mamırlıqin" is also peace in this language
of Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia
spoken by people in European Russia and Turkey
without the ending "mamır" is peaceful

Another word brimming with meaning
"caraşıwlu" contains emotion-laden streams
of peaceful
reasonable
comfortable courtesy
and good-natured

As if achieving peace
and developing a peaceful nature
needs light
and one must be reasonable and comfortable
with a dash of courtesy
