| Notes | This poem describes the killing of two children during a violent war-related event in Nazareth. The details given in the poem suggest that this poem refers to the Lebanon War of 2006 and to the casualties of a Hezbollah missile attack as reported in the media in July 2006. The bombs are described in terms of the badhbh - a harbinger of death in Irish mythology. The violation of children's rights in a conflict zone is understood as a diminution of all children's rights. |
