Birth
-
- In a cold-ridden
cottage
- Under torrents,
- With hunger,
fear and shiver,
- Without a
friend, without a midwife,
- He is born!
- In a smoky cave,
- In cries,
- ln the back of a
military truck,
- Under a tent,
- lnside the
wound,
- He is born!
- In the act of
slaughtering,
- He is born!
- Under
bombardment,
- In burning
- A Kurdish child
is born!
- For resistance,
for rebellion,
- A Kurdish child
is born
- (Translated from
the Kurdish)
