Warchild

We roam these streets of burning rubble;
Robbed of our innocence and compensated with a rifle
A
rms strong from carrying ammunition.
Bodies weak from cocaine and malnutrition.

Cease thinking of me and I will forever remain a concept.
A project for out of work actors seeking to regain recognition.
The face beside a number to call with your donation.
I kill because I am the fulcrum of evil.
I die because you ignore my existence.
