Extracts from a fictional journal written by of one of my characters from the Masquerade Project RPG board, Tomoko Saeki (aka: "Kite," "Kite888," "The Punish-Her"), set during her early days hunting monsters at the tender age of twelve.

A poem about a child that has been forced to fight on the front lines.

My Aunt was recently describing to me the reaction several of her Ugandan friends had when they were able to attend a UN meeting regarding women’s issues. They had returned stunned saying, "Does the west really think all we care about is that we can be free to marry other women if we discover ourselves to be lesbian? Do they not know that we are still publicly shamed when we leave an abuse spouse. That our little girls are constantly subjected to the possibility of physical and sexual abuse. Do they care that our daughters are being sold into prostitution?"
So this is my ode to how the western world seems determine to fight battles, but rarely chooses a worthy opponent.

Poem about civil war in African countries such as Sudan and Sierra Leone. Very visual and gives viewers a different perspective on civil war in the eyes of a child.

A perspective poem from the angle of child soldier. How it would be if the tables were turned.

This poem is derived from a personal encounter and interraction with previously abducted child soldiers in the war ravaged Areas of Nothern Uganda where over two million children were abducted by the self-stlyed rebel commanders of the Lord’s Resistance Army and conscripted to become child soldiers.Athough the boys also suffered,the girls suffered the most as many of them were turned into commander’s wives at tender ages.
