In Praise of Kamajor Child Soldiers
by Rashid Peters and Andrew Greene of iEARN Sierra Leone
The child soldiers disappear
Within a twinkle of an eye they reappear
To give the enemy a regretful sigh
Or to make them cry or die
They hold sticks
To make the bullets of the enemy weak
Magical sticks controlling cartridges from these war men
The hunters winning of the battle
Has long being an omen
Their native costumes country cloths are gun-proofs
Gun shots fired at them are merely shaken-off as a proof
To show how great and mighty are the local hunters troop.
Post initiation test miraculous
To make the enemys bullet seem ridiculous
Like waste of cartridges on tested initiates
Or the splashing of water on a docks back
There are no military skills they lack
The Kamajor child soldiers in Sierra Leone cannot wait
To put to rest the rebel enemies they hate
