The Youth (content warning)
Five Thousand Fight
Sent before the adults
Expendable mine detectors
Raped and sexually abused
Carrying armament
Heavier than themselves
Kidnapped and forced to fight
Reasons and methods change
Inside of each is our future
An invaluable human lost
Child soldiers
Babies with guns
The Youth
We do not wish to see
