| Abstract | ||
| Some poets reflect how children suffer around the world in general and in conflicting areas in particular. They in fact portray a gloomy image of helpless weak victims due to the social, economic and even the political exploitation during the war times that are characterized by different kinds of trauma and fear. This research studies the issues of trauma and fear of the Iraqi child as a war victim in three selected American and Western poets: Judith Morrison, David Robert and David Krieger. These poets shed light on the Child’s innocence, and the child as a symbol of peace. Their poems uncover a horrifying vision of the catastrophic outcomes of war. The conclusion concentrates on the various points of view of each individual poet in the method of dealing with the two issues and the way of response toward the catastrophic outcomes of wars upon such flagging, disarmed and powerless innocent children in Iraq and other countries around the world. | ||
