Artist's Comments

There's a documentary circling the nation about the children in Uganda, both those who are forced to flee the armies who would force them to fight, and those who are captured and trained to kill. It's called Invisible Children, and it is a most powerful message. This work represents the plea made in the documentary for support in the effort to aid helpless children who are forced to become thoughtless killing machines.

oh my lord that's horrible! how could anyone do such a thing to CHILDREN? it's unthinkable and sick, i can't even comprehend it. what sick disgusting minds come up with things like this? it's these issues that thuroughly outrage me. these are lives, not toys.

Thing is, people don't care what they are, so long as they can use them for their own ends. It's hideous. If you get the chance, you should see the documentary. There are a few parts that are gross and unrelated, and frankly unnecessary in my opinion lol. But when you get into the actual stories...I cried. Course, it's not too hard to make me cry...but still, it's a hideous situation. And apparently this sort of thing isn't only happening in Africa. I read from a magazine page posted in our bathroom stalls last year (they decorate the bathrooms here, it's kinda awkward...) that a similar situation is going on in Southern America. I can't remember which country it was, I think Columbia, but I'm not certain. In any case, it's hideous, but it's not uncommon, unfortunately.

*nod* Thanks for the comment. Here's to the hope that children of war can be brought out of that fear and into new ways of life.
