300.000 ΠΑΙΔΙΑ-ΦΑΝΤΑΡΟΙ ΣΤΟΝ ΟΜΟΡΦΟ, ΑΓΓΕΛΙΚΟ ΜΑΣ ΚΟΣΜΟ

Σύμφωνα με στοιχεία της Διεθνούς Αμνηστίας , 300.000 παιδιά πολεμούν ΣΗΜΕΡΑ σε περισσότερες από 30 χώρες, σε όλες τις Ηπείρους.

Τα περισσότερα από αυτά τα παιδιά είναι έφηβοι, αλλά δεν είναι σπάνια τα παιδιά-στρατιώτες ως και εφτά χρονών.

Kate Bush, "Army Dreamers" (3MB)

Our little army boy
Is coming home from B.F.P.O.*
I've a bunch of purple flowers
To decorate a mammy's hero.

Mourning in the aerodrome,
The weather warmer, he is colder.
Your men in uniform
To carry home my little soldier.

(ρεφραίν)

Tears o'er a tin box.
Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know,
Like a chicken with a fox,
He couldn't win the war with ego.

Give the kid the pick of pips,
And give him all your stripes and ribbons.
Now he's sitting in his hole,
He might as well have buttons and bows.

What could he do?
Should have been a rock star.
But he didn't have the money for a guitar.
What could he do?
Should have been a politician.
But he never had a proper education.
What could he do?
Should have been a father.
But he never even made it to his twenties.
What a waste --
Army dreamers.
