To whom this is directed to, UNICEF, Invisible Children, Amnesty International, United Nations, U.S. Military Tribunals I am going to argue that child soldiers should be portrayed as victims. I say this because they are too young to be handling weapons, drugs, and lives. They are forced to kill with drugs, war movies, sexual abuse and even death. They don’t know anything better than to listen to orders and go ahead and follow them like they were told. It’s crazy that the idea of prosecuting…

Bullet shells litter the ground your bare feet are treading on like dead leaves in Autumn. The only pair of clothes you own are torn and two sizes too small but it’s all you have. The main emphasis of your appearance is not any of this, but the enormous machine gun slung over your starved body. No emotion is felt from you; no regret, hurt, or pleasure.
