| Notes | This poem references the killing of a child by a soldier. The context is unspecified and the poem appears to be a general comment on how the rights of the child are violated during armed conflicts. An English translation of this poem was published in May 1979 in the publication Al-raida, published by the Institute for Women's Studies in the Arab World in the 'Year of the Child'. Although no particular war is specified in the poem itself, Chedid is of Lebanese descent and has published two novels set in war-torn Lebanon. |
