Flowers are red~

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Kadang kala, pemikiran kanak-kanak selalu dilimitasikan oleh orang-orang dewasa dengan pemikiran mereka. Harapan mereka supaya kanak-kanak menjadi seperti mereka. Amat malang kehidupan kanak-kanak yang baru sahaja ingin mengenali dunia dengan intuasi mereka tapi di konkong minda mereka dengan pemikiran orang-orang dewasa.

Sepatutnya, kanak-kanak dibiarkan berimaginasi, bermimpi tentang sesuatu yang mereka sukakan agar minda mereka sentiasa berkembang. Apa yang sepatutnya dilakukan orang-orang dewasa adalah membimbing perkembangan minda kanak-kanak supaya ia terarah ke tempat yang betul. Bukan membina tembok di sana sini. Biarlah mereka menjadi insan yang kreatif dan kritis bila melihat dunia ini agar bila mereka dewasa, segala permasalahan yang dilalui, mampu mereka hadapi kerana kredibilti yang dibina sejak kecil sudah terasah.

Flowers are red - Zain Bikha

A little boy went first day at school

He got some crayons and he started to draw

He put colors all over the paper

For colors was what he saw

The teacher said, "What you doin' young man?"

"I'm paintin' flowers see"

"Well this is not the time for art young man

And anyway flowers are green and red

There's a time for everything young man

a way it should be done

You've got to show concern for everyone else

For you're not the only one"

And she said...

"Flowers are red

Green leaves are green

There's no need to see flowers any other way

Than they way they always have been seen "

But the little boy said...

"There are so many colors in the rainbow

So many colors in the morning sun

So many colors in the flower and I see every one"

Well the teacher said… "You're sassy

There's a way that things should be

And you'll paint flowers the way they are

So repeat after me..."

she said...

"Flowers are red

Green leaves are green

There's no need to see flowers any other way

Than they way they always have been seen "

But the little boy said again...

"There are so many colors in the rainbow

So many colors in the morning sun

So many colors in the flower and I see every one"

Well the teacher put him in a corner

She said… "It's for your own good…

And you won't come out 'til you get it right

responding like you should"

Well finally he got lonely

Frightened thoughts filled his head

And he went up to that teacher

And this is what he said

"Flowers are red, green leaves are green

There's no need to see flowers any other way

Than the way they always have been seen"

Well time went by like it always does

he moved to another town

And the little boy went to another school

And this is what he found

The teacher there was smilin'

She said..."Painting should be fun

And there are so many colors in a flower

So let's paint every one"

that little boy painted flowers

In neat rows of green and red

And when the teacher asked him "why"

This is what he said..

"Flowers are red, green leaves are green

There's no need to see flowers any other way

Than the way they always have been seen."

But there must still be a way to have our children say,

There are so many colors in the rainbow

So many colors in the morning sun

So many colors in the flower and I see every one

There are so many colors in the rainbow

So many colors in the morning sun

So many colors in the flower and I see every one
