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.
