Have you seen Invisible Children?

No, I'm not trying to be clever. It's the title of a documentary.

Do you know what is happening in Uganda as I type this, as you read this?

Since 1995, Acholi children have been abducted by a rebel group called the Lord's Resistance Army and forced to fight for them in a kill-or-be-killed situation. Then, these children grow up to be the Lord's Resistance Army themselves. They kidnap children ages 5-14, because they are big enough to carry a gun and small enough to be completely brainwashed. The invisible children are ignored by most people since after they escape the LRA, they can no longer function as usual. Also, the threat of the LRA causes many, many people who live in the country to walk to the town in order to stay safe from them in hospitals and other public places. Two or three weeks ago, I didn't even have the smallest idea that this was going on. Now, along with a lot of my classmates, I'm trying to raise awareness aboutthis situation.

What is poetry?

A bit of truth, a flight of fancy, a mood-changer, a piece of my heart, words on a page.

Who are the poets?

Those
who lie, who spin shadows, who let the world in, who bare their naked
souls, who laugh when they shouldn't laugh and cry when they can't laugh.
