On the name of humanity great shame it does bring <br />The usage of children to fight in war is a terrible thing <br />By some so called patriots in the World of today <br />The scum of the Earth of them one well might say <br />For their abuse and their usage of children in such a cruel way <br />To karma they do have a huge price to pay <br />For the sake of their egos children by them are dehumanized <br />The cause they espouse to by their actions destroyed <br />Poor children many of whom will not live to see their prime <br />To use them to fight in war is a terrible crime <br />As subjects of warlords the victims of fear <br />Such stories as crimes against innocents one would rather not hear <br />Yet it all seems so tragic and so sad to say <br />That child soldiers are dying in wars every day.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/child-soldiers/
