Passage

Though the U.S. prides itself on being a leader in the world community a recent report shows that it lags far behind other industrialized countries in meeting the needs of its youngest and most vulnerable citizens. The U.S. has a higher infant mortality rate, a higher proportion of low birth-weight babies, a smaller proportion of babies immunized against childhood diseases and a much higher rate of adolescent pregnancies. These findings, described as a ‘quiet crisis’ requiring immediate and far-reaching action, appeared in a report prepared by a task force of educators, doctors, politicians and business people. According to the report, a fourth of the nation’s 12 million infants and toddlers live in poverty. As many as half confront risk factors that could harm their ability to develop intellectually, physically and socially. Child immunizations are too low, more children are born into poverty, more are in substandard care while their parents work and more and being raised by single parents. When taken together, these and other risk factors can lead to educational and health problems that are much harder and more costly to reverse.

The crisis begins in the womb with unplanned parenthood. Women with unplanned pregancies are less likely to seek pre-natal care. In the U.S. 80% of tenage pregnancies and 56% of all pregnancies are unplanned. The problems continue after birth where unplanned pregnancies and unstable partnerships often go hand in hand. Since 1950, the number of single parent families has nearly tripled. More than 25 per cent of all births today are to unmarried mothers. As the number of single parent families grow and more women enter the work force, infants and toddlers are increasingly in the care of people other than their parents

Most disturbingly, recent statistics show that American parents are increasingly neglecting or abusing their children. In only four year from 1987-1991. the number of children in foster care increased by over 50 per cent. Babies under the age of one are the fastest growing category of children entering foster care. The crisis affects children under the age of three most severely, the report says, Yet, It is this period from infancy through pre-school years that sets the stage for a child’ future.

LAW OF THE JUNGLE

I have heard

there is a law of the jungle

1 have heard when the lion has eaten

his fill

He never attacks

He goes to lie under dense shady trees

And when the rough gusts

Shake branches of trees

The mynah leaving her own young

Covers the frail crow’s eggs

With her protective wings.

I have heard

When any bird-young falls out of the nest

The entire jungle wakes to rescue.

I have heard

When the weaverbird’s nest

Reflects on the lake

The silvery fishes adopt it as neighbour.

And if a rough storm breaks the footbridge.

Then on a wooden plank

Squirrel, snake, goat and cheetah walk

in a file.

I have heard

There is a law of the jungle

O God. All Powerful. All Seeing. All Wise.

In this my city

Proclaim a law,

Even the law of the jungle.

Translated from the Urdu by Syeda Hameed
