I never knew my parents, I'm unsure of my age. I don't know morality. But I do know pain. The pain of having nothing to eat. The pain of being wounded by a bullet or machete. The pain of seeing loved ones… …slaughtered. I’m starving to death. And I’m hungry for vengeance. I’ll bring to my enemies the same pain that I felt. Wearing my looted bandana, Wielding my AK47, Spraying hot metal, Spreading fear. I need to shoot my way to heaven to escape from this hell. 9/10/14

I was reading an article about Joseph Kony and child soldiers.
