Child Soldier

War Child

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Abducted like so many

Through the bush you march

Armed with an AK-47

To loot and kill

Forced to bring terror

Upon your family and village

Your mother’s warmth

You dare no more desire

Risking revenge and execution

Landmines must be removed

Dreams must be restored

When you finally come home

There will only be welcome
