What are the connections between the poems Ballad of Birmingham and The Tempest?

Both "Ballad of Birmingham" by Dudley Randall and Shakespeare's "The Tempest" explore themes of innocence and the impact of violence. In "Ballad of Birmingham," a mother’s protective instincts are shattered by the tragic bombing of a church, highlighting the vulnerability of children in a violent society. Similarly, in "The Tempest," the character of Miranda embodies innocence, yet she is surrounded by the tumultuous consequences of betrayal and power struggles. Both works reflect on the loss of innocence in the face of a harsh, often chaotic world.
