Child Soldiers
A life condemned
Colorful rice at the collage table— school free day pops the
microwave — family-sun-fun clutching ice-cream runs — building playground forts-with sticky lip kisses —
tormented tummy beats the drum malnourished — tonight’s take away? — chubby cheek child — an army recruit — struck down//cut off — march your orders — mission suicide — abandoned—pawned off—from all you’ve known —from all you love — traded a pittance— for a lifetime of violence — frightened and molded — raped and front lined — next milestone — explodes a nightmare
landmine—
dream time escape — hot cocoa and cuddles in kitty cat
pj’s — bed time routine — fluff out the blanket—ghost in the
closet — doors opened and checked— for monsters and boogeymen — a night light is granted— counting white sheep—motherly milk — a soothing full
breast — no
not tonight dear — sleep depravity—no time to
blink — tabula rasa —a slate for political ink //trafficked — assassinated by
army of actors — your innocent plasticity —abused —tormented
propagandized — degraded—prostituted
now shunted serial criminal — societal shame//vilified your savage kills//your ruthless slaughters —future condemned— no friends /hostile foe — ostracized — dismembered from conventional rights of the
child — message to the office/r
no more ‘lightweight’ automatic guns — no more silent political lunch runs//blood stained easel stands//graveyard play days //barbaric nights —
take action leaders —let justice prevail — end the brutal cycle —the living nightmare —these innocents are the future—time to step up — amend
