William Shakespeare once said “The Eyes are
the window to your soul”.And boy was he correct. The images of a 5 year old
Syrian boy,Omran Daqneesh who was lifted right out of a rubble in war torn
Allepo staring dead pan into the camera has gone viral all over.The fact that
he is so dazed and unnerved that he isn’t able to shed a single tear rips apart
the mother in me.Images such as these have haunted and plagued me for days.
Being a mother to a 4 year old, news like this strike a deep rooted chord in me
and set me thinking. The Aylan Kurdi portrayal was ghastly enough. And now this.
Children are the epitome of innocence and untouched by adult malice and vice.
Hence the sheer vision of children being scavenged by the political crisis is
the strongest symbolism ever.This has to stop everyone says. But how ? What
will stop this massacre? This is a collective failure of the world’s political
parties and agenda which is being taken out hideously on civilians.We have to do something and real fast.
