People say that human beings are the most intelligent creatures, but we are also the sickest lot of all creatures. Blame it on society who comprises of these supposedly intelligent creatures who made what is today an alarming breed of child militants and child prostitutes. Blame it on the intelligent creatures who fund these, who reap from these, who encourage this by looking at the other way or condoning it. It is these intelligent creatures who have taken away their innocence and youth. And all for what? For industrialization? For tourism? For the country's economy? For the country's defense power? To guard the country's wealth? How is this justifiable with the venereal disease and HIV that a 6 year old might get? How is this worthwhile when a 12 year old knows not how to read but is slick with grenades and duds? A child's life so precious being so quickly tarnished with the harsh reality of life is worthwhile? If we are truly the most intelligent being, how could we have come to this? How could we have let this happen?
