children should not be sent to war


Poem Artwork

He is a ten-year old child
Before the war he was a student
His future has been shot dead
Now he is a child soldier in war
He is fighting in the frontline
He thinks he is firing the enemy
But he is shooting the future
Of Somalia's future generation
That is how we lose a whole nation

He is a child in war

And his employer is no longer an ignorant greedy warlord but a "waddad" in a red cimamad.

Mind-boggling

Abdi-Noor, the obscenity of child soldiers; to hell with those who think children should be trained and sent to kill. Any who wish to bring children into war have abandoned God; that includes the merchants of death in the West... I c ry when I think of Western pilots happily dropping bombs on civilian targets.

Keep peace alive, my friend, and God save the children. Fegus

Oh, Abdi, this has touched my inner soul to the core...a child, not old enough to know what life's really about and sent to war!! This is so heart rendering...my heart goes out to all the people in Somalia. Thanks for sharing.
