.. [I]n World war 2 the same combat condition was called "battle fatigue" for syllables now ; takes a little longer to say . Dosent seem to hurt as much By the....Korean War.... the very same condition was being called "operation exhaustion." . the phrase was up eight syllables now , and any last traces of humanity has been completely squeezed out of it ......
Then ... we got into Vietnam , and , thanks to the deceptions surrounding that war , it's no surprise that the very same condition was referred to as " post-traumatic stress disorder. " still eight syllables, but we've added a hyphen, and the pain is completely buried under jargon ....

Additionally, by including facts that support your ethical position of ending child labor, readers’ logical next step would be to support ending it, as well. That said, both the poem and essay would be appropriate to include.
