"However, if they're freedom is worth fighting for are you fighting for it? If not they your piece suffers from hypocrisy."
yes, i believe i am help fighting for it. by creating a piece of artwork that would be seen by 30 000 people [their distribution #], then i can say i am making a difference. even if ONE single person, gets inspired from the piece and calls one of the organizations i mentioned in the last column, that i would say i have done my job. exposing the problem and trying to make people aware of whats happenin in their world, i think is a good thing.
someone else posted if the quotes were from actual kids, and yes they were. they were taken from the United Nations website.
regarding the comment about how the child would possibly want to be a warrior... I would have to STRONGLY disagree. the circumstances in which these children are forced to become warriors is sickening. Rebel warriors come into the small villages and kill the families of many of these kids and recruit them at a young age. in the armies, they are the victims of physical and sexual assult. It's also very common for the kids to be given cocaine. the reason for this, is the make them "fierce warriors."
maybe these kids are ignorant to the ways in which we dream about wanting to play in the NBA or being an astronaut, but given the same opportunities, i think they would be just like you and me.
