Samah Sabawi - God Forsaken 

A poem to think about on this day when many around the world reflect
about the meaning of Divinity and Resurrection from Death. In a world
where the life of an innocent child is no longer sacred, nothing in the
world is. Poet, playwright and human rights advocate asks us what a life
is worth in this world that is God Forsaken, where young men boast of
their killing 'finesse' and men and women are killed for a symbol that is
bereft of meaning. This poem was found by Adib S Kawar, who translated it
into Arabic. It was also translated into Hebrew by human rights advocate
and family therapist Avigail Abarbanel. Mary Rizzo translated it into
Italian, other languages are on the way at
