When you wake me up for school,
when you help me hold the school bag,
when you let me get into the school van,
I remember the men holding the guns…
How I wish you wanted us to see Doremon and Pokemon, but not
the Guns…
School, I thought, was a punishment,
each morning when you helped me ride the van,
the bag, the books, the classes; all a burden,
that’s until I meet my chirpy friends…
Schools too are meant for fun…
But Papa, why do we make guns?
(I have tried to draw a poem out of what my 11 year little
angel Khushi talked with me last night, about the Peshawar incidence)
