Zainab's Writings

Thousands of Animals out there in the world, Are hopeless-starved to death, And although we're pretending not to know, We're giving those animals a threat. A threat for hunting and shooting them out, A threat for making them die, A threat that means to destroy their homes, A threat that's mean and sly. We aim to cut down all the trees, And hope to dirty the land, We try to make the earth polluted, And now it's getting out of hand. But what we're starting to forget is, That the animals live here, too, It's not their fault but they are too, Suffering with me and you!!!

"Life is like a journey, Every one keeps going on till they reach their destinations" ~ Zainab Salman

A  great blessing I have is the big Neem tree outside the house. The tree is   huge. Nobody really knows how old it is, but my eldest uncle, wh has been living in this house since he was a baby, told me that it was pretty much the same size as now when he was about my age. It is estimated that the tree is about a hundred years old. The tree, probably because of it's enormous size, is a home to lots of birds. It has around 4 eagle's nests on it(which are really huge) loads of crows live on it and uncountable sparrows are home on the tree. Apart from all these, lots of unusual and unknown birds often pay a visit. I remember seeing a shiny blue bird and a red and fawn coloured bird on the tree. The leaves of the tree have been used for medicinal purposes to heal and soothe illnesses and sometimes to cool the body-temperature in summers herbaly. Often, I watch the tree, and the different kind of birds that are chirping away pleasantly on a branch. I am thankful for this tree

Everyone has a reason of pride, a reason to be proud over something. Something I feel proud about is my country. Pakistan is a country which I need and my country needs me. But what I am noticing and feeling, strongly, is that many people don't seem to love their country, and are starting to devalue it. Some people express their opinions by going abroad, leaving their home-country, while others keep complaining and cursing the country and it's government. What I am trying to say is, that some people find no reasoning for loving their country. People need to know that their country has almost everything, and God definitely chose Pakistan to be their homeland, and not Africa, Antarctica, or America, because of some reason, right??? The most important things I see in this country and it's people, are... ...Brotherhood and unity amongst the people... ...The richness of the land, and the variety of wildlife we have here... ...The culture, the heritage, and the languages..
