The sacrilegious onslaught on APS Peshawar, a year back, on December 16th, 2014, still remains the unholiest and the most ungodly thing, that humans could conceive and execute. The entire world was victimized by the trauma. A year down the passage of life, since that barbaric misfortune, I realise not with disdain, but with pain, how inexorable human mind can become to reason, when it’s frequency is modulated from anecht oneto a counterfeit one.
Apart from the coarse and somewhat redundant definitions of good and bad, benevolent and malefic, this is more about a mind subverted to nuisance or actualized to philanthropy. Crude, as it may sound, the changes taking place in one or the other direction are at a molecular, and a cellular level. The thought process intercepted imperceptibly by a positive or a negative gradient along the line of flow. The ones, I call beasts, or filthy animals or demons today, who masterminded and executed the assault on a school, were still in the human form. We have no evidence of ‘aliens’ capable of combating human beings in any form. Whether it is the ‘Transformers’ and the ‘Galvatrons’ or the Crusaders, Jihaddis, and the KKK’s, it is but one thing at work- the human mind.
Today, is ‘the’ black day in not just the human history, but in the history of humanity. The human mind designed a vengeance technique, no other species ever would. No other life form will kill it’s young, unless to propagate procreation of it’s kind. Man did. Severing himself from all forms of life and existence, he conformed to the identity of an ‘alien invader’ who sabotaged our life, who gave a message to the world that the invasion of our earth by extraterrestrial beings was not afterall, a myth.
Kids do not really need to watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Superheroes family series of Batman, Iron man and so many other men of the kind, who salvage life. Our children should be taught, how minds are altered .This should be made clear to them, how physical human form remains unaltered but the minds belong to either saints and angels, or the demons and monsters. Today, marks the anniversary of a day, when our kids were transported from being kids to being more mature than adults. Today, marks the day, the fantasy world of fairytales of our children was demolished prematurely and our innocent, unshielded saplings were put in an unfriendly ‘out and open’.
Today, is a day, we as a generation failed ourselves and our children. We failed miserably at giving our kids a safe haven called ‘childhood’. We robbed them of the wonders and beauties of being a kid. We had no choice, but to tell them how to run for life, if we fail them again. This is a shame on us. A shame that we will live with as long as we are destined to.
Measures had been taken since ages. There is UNICEF and there is the great, the UN. The bodies for educating the children of the world and for ensuring peace in the world. The world has not been educated enough. The world is not happy and at peace enough. The world can be manipulated into throwing away the garb of humanity, and succumbing to being the lowest of the low. The men are hungry, deprived of food, shelter and clothing. The men know not love and kindness because they have endured injustice, bias and hatred at the hands of those who believe in ‘humanity’.
Today, we observe a black day. We commemorate the loss of ourselves. We lost that day, a part of us. The world lost. Injustice, animosity, hostility, the bad blood- went berserk and blood bathed humanity. What a failure of us as human beings, as the best of the creation!
The rampage of the dogs of hell climaxed on December 16th, 2014, and then it was impeded by an army of not the galvatrons but mere ‘Khakis’-the real life superheroes. The chosen and the elect who were stabbed in the heart, retaliated, and today, the world does not remember the fiends, but holds in high esteem the khakis who have proven their worth, where the UN, the UNICEF, and our ‘elected’ democratic government together have failed shamelessly.
The emblem of peace hoisted by our khakis has meant death to all the inhuman and inhumane forms of life, facing us in the attire and garb of human beings. The paths are chosen by will. If they have chosen to destroy us as well as themselves, we choose to preserve us as well as them and their humanity. We choose to learn and educate ourselves as well as their generations to come. Going back to the coarser concept, if this be a battle of good and bad, we have already chosen our sides.
Before I wind up here, the wrong with the the song released by ISPR, as a tribute to the APS Peshawar attack, is today’s right. Our kids need to know all the wrongs they have inherited from us. They need to know, that they have to stand up with us in this battle of good and bad. Thanks to our imbecilic approach towards life, their childhood cannot be as golden a period of life as ours was.
The great news is that, we are winning so far. Long live APS Peshawar heroes!
