Child Soldiers
Lead poppin
Heart stoppin
No option
Either way by the time they're 18 they'll have no oxygen
No sympathy don't box slaughtered children
How can see a child murdered and no chills send
They're reckless approach is militant
Layin bombs settin off missiles
Just shootin no attempt to hit foes
Just infantry shock troops
Kids from 5-17 looked at as men not youth
Pop at other kids some never reach their teens
Stationed at sentries
Stripped from families no identity
Happens in hundreds of nations
Fight wars and your family might be free of their depredations
Sunrise to sundown
General scandalous won't notify his mother when her son down
So when will we open our eyes and realize this happens now
Maybe it spreads to America and your son pops the first round
