How tragic, innocent kids as young as nine years old in war-torn countries with weapons of war... gun-toting! It is... sheer madness. Sickening! They should be in school, not in the battlefield... with... rifles half their height! (Yalto) "Yalto" is a form invented by yours truly Line 1-15: 3,4,2,4,5,3,2,3,2,3,3,5,6,1,5 Date written: 03/07/2020
