The Child Soldier: Our Writing
Giving Voice to Youth Affected by War

.....

Don't Blame Me
by Rashid Peters, a student of I*EARN Sierra Leone

When I was born

No one told me

I would be captured at 10

To show early muscles

In the lionís den

But soon I became 10

Iím forced to lay down my pen

And learnt soon

How to dodge a bomb blast

And to make a whole family never last
