Kenneth's Poem

Karen read the poem that Kenneth wrotr to us called War in Northern Uganda.

War, War, War, why and where did you come from?
You came when I was not yet born, even befor my parents were not yet born.
What did you want from me?
War, War, War, what about you? I wish I coudn't be born in Northern Uganda, you would see whom to affect.
You killed my grandfather.
Where will I get my lost parents.
You ate my real daddy what should I do to see them?
I wish I could be an atom bomb I would have finish you.
War, War, War, why don't you see how people cry and bleed, you displaced us to camps and killed a lot is it not enough?
If I was a gun I would have stopped bullets because of blood.
War, War, War, we need peace and happiness. Amen - Kenneth, age 12
