Child Soldier Scares the World
by Rashid Peters, a student of I*EARN Sierra Leone
A 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
