the prince and the peacemaker
the children are being watched
by men with weapons
acting as protectors
from foreign forces
they volunteer as escorts
for the elders
protecting them from snipers
and negotiators with knives
it’s easy getting educated
at such a young age
quickly picking up maps
and languages
of many legions
as long as they refrain
from strapping on suicide packs
their prophesy of negotiating
lasting peace
will one day ring true
march two thousand thirteen
