child soldiers
Location
Small feet patter on the dirt road
Dust sweeps across the faces of the lost children
The stench of sweat blood and tears fill the air
Small hands grasp the cold metal machine guns
Ready to fire and prepared to kill
pain fills their heads as well as their hearts
they have no one in the world
alone, they are the invisible children walking the earth like shadows
brainwashed, lost, gone
they leave behind the cry of an inevitable past filled with anguish
There heart yearn for love from the outside world
They wander from place to place leaving a trail of dead behind them
The agonizing cries they carry with them will soon be silenced
The frail frames sway in the wind due to famishment
They eat little and sleep less
