OH UNCLE OBAMA – SURE I AM CHILD BUT NOT AMERICAN

(Authored by Saman Khan and equals) (June 17, 2011)

We are writing these lines simply to let us learn and explore how our seniors have lived and grown up, with heritage life style, say, a few earlier generations.

They enjoyed; singing birth day rhymes, listening bed time Lullaby songs by mummy, aunty, grand mother or other elderly female family members’ facilitation, and affinity of elder male members groomed children in good freedom.

Thus, their life was continued usual in weather cycles of summer, winter, spring, and autumn. Their family gatherings and celebrations enjoyed lot of fun for all youngsters and elderly, so family tales through generations by word of mouth. Their traveling was pleasing no matter what were the means, but comfort of company of friends and affections of older groups, and peace and harmony was overwhelmed.

In the morning, toddlers were watching their elders who were rushing to school in uniform/ backpacks waiting for ride, and happily saying them off and on their coming back grand welcome by searching their backpacks to snatch gifts. So much so, it went on and so the time went on.

No matter these days we did not have amenities of modern days, but for toddlers there is nothing modern, they patronize even an ugly toy or old teddy bear, monkey toy which are by now out of fashion.

The new wind has done up side down the prevailed life style, very little is carried over from past generations especially for harmony and peace for children. By now children are faced to unnatural apprehensions fears, uncertainties and all sorts and every bad occurrence. Even in School conversation with earlier groups and present days; home works goodness, madams’ smiles, pupils’ gossips and funny upgrades, pupil to pupil learning and summer plans.

Some how, complexities have surrounded us which finds no words to tell children feelings, about big names, who is what, what is what, new issues of children securities, abduction and kidnapping, and many more are the subject of the day. However, the school syllabi are not exposing to children reality of daily happenings, need of the day. The children curiosity of about events is not fed appropriately on upgrading of personal security from home to school and back, awareness of new ways of violence and children victimization and torturing, streets’ interactions, and unusual exposures aiming to children horrification.

Such a change has fallen on children, they do not know how to express on its difficulties syndrome, and the world has pushed on these children the dreadful bloody events. A lot of destruction is around which is seen on TV, on road, in surroundings and interactions. Children hear new words and sounds almost daily shattering their perception; Obama, Osama, Drones Attack, America, Britain, Taliban, Mullas, Load shedding, Cash shortage, dearly edibles, Caring for self and equals. Often, the violence effects are pointed to OBAMA ill wish. Where children are helpless and opted to sing;

WHY UNCLE OBAMA RAZE CHILDREN OF PAKISTAN?
WHY AMERICAN CHILDREN LOVE-ONES OF DRONES?
WHY DRONES & MARTYRS ATTACK WEE CHILDREN?
WE CAN NOT LOVE UNCLE OBAMA
WE LOVE THOSE WHO LOVE US

UNCLE DO YOU LOVE YOUR BROOD?
SAMAN, HEBA, MINHA AND EQUALS SINGING
