’Role &Responsibilities of youth during pandemic covid-19’’

(Sadia Ijaz Hussain, Lahore)

Once there were plants and flowers lived in Garden of Hope .Blue, green, yellow and different kinds of leaves and roses dwelled in it. Plants and trees lived happily. They had dancing days and nights. Life seemed to have a land of utopia .But one day life shrieked in the garden for damaging leaves, spring, where life nourished! Now air caused suffocation in form of autumn. Dirty air and green pigment through unhealthy environment transferred the virus MR. CORONA in the body of leaves. Air waves having Corona disease were transferring the virus in body of leaves and caused destruction in the garden. Leaves were unaware of the unhealthy green pigment that dwelled in its green layer .Small green pigments spread its little spark over region. Lots of leaves dried and had last breath because of this dangerous MR. CORONA .Hazardous air arose in the garden where once the healthy air dwelled. Leaves sung the melody of the fresh air, red roses, blue roses specie like fauna and flora were living happily. But the arrival of the monstrous virus in form of green pigment was damaging the green beauty of the garden. Songs of happiness converted into elegy. Happy atmosphere after few days converted into mourning yard.

Art play its role in protecting the lives of plants .Everywhere songs arose, “Wash your petals through water, drink water, and protect your leaves with stamina of water”. Leaves were losing their petals day by day as the internal revival made its inner war strong. Green pigment in form of MR.CORONA made its army strong day by day. Attacks got strong but lamenting figure was that defending system was losing its power day by day. Young leaves had to participate in the pandemic condition to plays their role positively. Life seemed sophisticated instead of happy. Young plants having young ambitions had to protect their garden by defending their selves from outburst attacks of MR.CORONA. Life had stopped as the weather was suffocated.

It seemed that time demanded leaves to invoke their logic sight towards the trivial matter of life. Tons of protecting shields were made for covering the structure of the trees. Trees were instructed to get settle at one place. Don’t try to move for enjoyment. Restrict your activities so that MR. CORNO did not get you. A tree having shield over his body and a drum, yelled:
“Protect yourself, protect your leaves, and protect your shapes with shields that are what you have to do. Air is against you, you have to protect yourself against air. Make your breath clean by inhaling pure air which is only possible through use of mouth shields. Drink clean water and protect yourself by distancing. Strengthen yourself by means of cleaning and distancing.”

An old plant having broad leaves from far, motivated the thin layered plants and said:
“Young plants, you are the hope of Garden, Hope indeed. Young hope, young spirit, young determinism, young sight. Dear plants, you are light in the dark hour. This situation demands you to bring the light in the dark hour, bring the sight to this dark forest. The sun waits for you to claim the day. Night wants you to sleep till dawn. Sleep so that you can be protected from the darkness over which night rules. The light wants you to bring the precautions in the dark day. Don’t you know that life reveals its secret after the darkest day? We have to fight with the disease name CORONA in Pandemic but here fight means defend not attack. We need to follow the precautions. We need to serve our tinny plants, young plants with the MR. Water. “
Little, little plants
Don’t you know?
Drinking and watering let you grow!
Drop by drop, Water, keep you fit!
Distance that’s what bless you with healing,
Inch by inch, half a feet,
Precautions that’s what bless you with health,
O! Little plants don’t be upset!
Your duty is to protect the little garden where you dwell,
You need some time, till autumn go!
You should have some hope in your little heart,
Take precautions, take some measurements
Let the sun rise till night will go!
(From the row of young plant a little plant come having mask of green layer over his body .He came out with zeal and delivered the speech that was not only shocked the other young plants but also the old man and the other trees.)
He took his position and firmly said:
“We are being the important part of this little hope garden, take the testimony to protect our garden. This little garden is not only giving us hope in the darkest days but also provides us the sun shine for our day growth. I am being the young plant represents my community of plants. Are you with me young plants? Are you with me in the testimony and oath that I am going to take? This is our residency we live here, grow here. Now in this difficult time we have to face the miserable hour. Death or survival is in our hand. We can fight with it or can put our weapons down (e.g. water & shield).
Tell me the courageous garden!
You want health or death with misery?
Your one wrong step can cause misery for the whole garden. Even one life’s misery can cause danger for hundreds of lives then thousands and so on.”
Other plants saw in his eyes and say, Yes! We are with you dear!
Young Plant said:
“This is our home, now! Our home’s air is in danger. We own our home even in this crisis. We know that the days are going to be difficult .We all will walk through the same situation. It’s our duty to maintain the distance, to take precautionary measurements and move on. It’s our duty to stay at our places. To let our soil watered. To protect one another lives. To take precautionary measurements for others lives. To let our petals grow by taking the sunshine from our place. Don’t try to spread your waste here and there. Don’t roam without any solid purpose. Safe your environment so that other plants will also save. “
All the plants in excitement and firmed attitude made a promise that they would try to live with precautions and care. All plants went to their places and absorbed their roots in the soil having protecting shield over their bodies.
After four years environment seems to be fresh and Mr. Corona disappears having no trace. Finally life without MR.CORONA begins again ……That’s become possible just because of precautions and care.
