We Were Born in Darkness

Written by Zeev Kachel

Translated from Hebrew by Uvi Poznansky

We were born in darkness, crying a fit

Like grains of sand, countless stars came up, lit, 

We wanted to turn back to the warm womb  

Instead we were wrapped by chill and by gloom

Born in darkness, we labored so hard

To find our way in this universe 

We were greeted by its hug, the cruelty of its curse

Its predators' jaws... We were forced to traverse. 

Ma, why did you fool me, what was it for,

When you sang me a lullaby, not a song of war?

Oh why did you hide the ugly truth from me

We were born in darkness, our life--not to be?
