WritingsOur writings section features stories addressing the issue of ChildSoldiers written by youth in Sierra LeoneChild Soldier Scares the Worldby Rashid Peters, a student of iEARN Sierra LeoneA walk around, no one buzzes Silence! a bomb scare and puzzle At the street Fearing chasing footsteps, I retreat A hand taking me from the back A stab from the back But it was in a sleep I woke, sat on the floor and weep Imagine, what this scarring was about No need to doubt The child soldier is in and out Chasing people ready to make the gun shout Shedding innocent blood , a menacing word and a fierce sword Fighting as conscripted soldier A little gun boy on hire 'And the evil that men do leaves after them' And the evil that children copy leaves them to mayhem |
