World Peace in 2026!

 Lately the world has been very strange, 

Many nations embroiled in a chaotic and hostile exchange,

Of words, threats, drone attacks and blockades.

Impacting lives, destroying cities, economies and trade.

 

Someone powerful first tried stopping war and strife,

Then vainly thought himself the creator of a great life.

Tried to buy himself a much coveted peace prize,

Then tried to cover a past mistake with misdirection and lies.

 

One thing led to the next, the sleeping unrest awoke,

First in one country, then the second, then the third - all powerful military strokes.

A siege and civilian hits, trade grinding to a halt, 

Prices skyrocketing, major economies facing a currency shock.

 

As a global village, the world is now a connected web,

If a point is burnt, the fires spread.

It leads to a collapse of a fragile world order,

exacerbated with misleading news and reactionary fodder,   

Published all over the world in different ways,

Confusion and propaganda dominating our days.

 

On one side there is AI causing a disruptive revolution,

On the other there is war, with no honorable solution.

How to stop this from spreading we do not know, 

Is the future going to be full of confusion, instability and woe?  

 

When will wars come to an end? 

When can we all have peaceful days?

Can someone good make change for real, not just pretend

Can we all together end our warring ways?

 

Hope some good sense prevails.

Hope our future generations can only remember our smiles and not our wails. 

There was peace on earth until recently

When we were growing, learning, inventing, expanding and free.

 

The World today October 2025

 A world very different from what it was last year,

A world sequestered in global chaos and fear.

Different nations giving different excuses to not end wars,

to not respect and trust and violence and destruction to not abhor.

 

A world where AI boom is being born and bred. 

the old world we know, according to AI pundits is dead.

AI generates articles by the dozen to doom-scroll everyday,

People consuming useless information that make time fritter away.

 

The world today changes everyday. It might be a good day or it might not, people say.

A world where the founding pillars or several institutions are relentlessly under attack,

A world where misinformation, radicalism, injustice control and hack.

 

But on one side we see the ozone layer growing back!

On the other we see the ice shelves of Antarctica crack.

We see volcanoes erupt and earthquakes occur every month,

we see innovation and waste management ongoing to reduce the brunt.

 

We see our leaders say different things everyday,

we worry about AI robbing our future away

but should we really worry we think?

Ah well, in netflix and prime let us our worries sink. 

 

We find solace one day, hoping that once the confusion goes away,

humanity will endure for the next few generations along with nature - the science and AI way.

 We need heroes to roar and be heard over the drowning, incessant mid-wit buzz and hate,

We world need to see a sense of service, grace, patience and faith dominate.

 

 If we cannot find one, then let's be one - a hero who talks with decorum, research and sense online,

A hero who can make people believe that the world is still worth saving, that it is alive and good

That some things can be genuine - people, schemes , institutions and food.

 

Lets hope the world and media find a way,

To pass through this tunnel and to see the light of day. 

Where things are beautiful and real as they are meant to be.

And for once we can smile, acknowledge, praise and see.

The Answer

 We don't understand the universe or the way it works,

We don't understand the atom and the nucleus too.

Where did energy first come from we don't know.

Years of scientific discoveries have more questions than answers to show.

How does our mind work and understand reality?

How does our heart impact what we see?

Is our world a figment of our imagination?

or is your imagination a reflection of the world outside?

Why are some people always gloomy and some always happy?

Why do humans go around be sad or sappy in society?

Why do we crave for comfort and permanence so much?

And at the same time collectively destroy nature as such.

Who are we and where do we come from?

Why are we and why are we so dumb?

What are we and why don't we understand our purpose in this world?

How did we get here in the spiral of space and time twirl??

When shall we all cease of exist?

What do we do to resist and persist?

Why are we searching for answers when there are none sometimes?

 What should we do as time unwinds?

Who we are in this world, do we know?

Who we are in the universe, does it show?

Who we might be in the future can we know?

Is human race just a giant comic cosmic show?

Do we know? The answer is maybe a Yes and maybe a No.

Cleaning Up

 When I say "walking across the sands of time",

I see in my mind's eye, walking on the pristine gold sands of a beautiful empty beach.

Will our future generations, who always see beaches littered with waste, foreign objects and grime,

see the same image in their mind's reach? 

Our world is cluttered with gadgets, plastics and object which keep us busy, day and night.

We earn to buy them and we buy to earn them.

Is it sustainable, our choices, our actions, our use of natural resources - are we wrong or are we right?

Cleaning up our natural resources is going to be a long and exhausting fight.

When we innovate we need to keep the planet on top of our mind,

When we spend for convenience, we need to think beyond our daily grind.

When we try to clean up, we must do what is right. In the future, right and wrong will not be black and white.

 

Otherwise, Water will become our liquid gold, a lush green garden would indicate wealth multi-fold.

Clean air would mean a high standard of life.

Pollution and erosion would replace poverty and political strife.

 

The things we take for granted will become precious and rare.

Our world will become dystopian, dull and bare.

Clean up in your own capacity, to ensure life on earth.

Our time, effort, energy and focus, it is truly worth. 

The World Today 2023 Dec

 Sensational news is no longer new,

Authentic articles in mainstream and social media are very few.

 Political play goes on and on,

Wars rage in Ukraine and Palestine, ushering in a gloomy grey dawn.

 

Everyday global recession looms,

predicting inflation, unrest, localization and doom.

People are working in office and at home in a hybrid way,

New work models and trends are born everyday.

 

2023 is the year ChatGPT made an explosive entry.

AI is expected to replace you and me.

ML modelling, generative AI, predictive analysis is the talk of the town,

People use AI to understand things, to write essays and to design their own gown.

 

ISRO successfully landed Chandrayaan on the moon and the moment was watched by millions nationwide.

ISRO's feat had all Indians beaming that day with national pride.

Space is the next internet some say

We might become intergalactic travellers one day!

This is the also the year when natural disasters came to the fore,

Volcanoes erupted and storms caused floods and destruction galore.

The air is becoming too polluted to breathe,

Seems like it is the end of the world as we know it, Indeed.

Despite this all, most people live inside their homes cocooned,

OTT shows and internet does'nt let people out their home.

Insta threads, tik tok, you tube shorts and reels give instant gratification,

Influencers are the gods of the new generation.

Where is the world heading to? Nobody has a clue.

 Hope this year we make a positive impact to Earth and on Earth, me and you.

Hope the world wakes up to climate change and reverses the trend,

Hope we can achieve world peace and see human relations mend.

Hope the children of tomorrow can see what we see today,

The beautiful world we live in, perfect for us in every way!

The Desert Dream

 Nestled in the sands of time,

Amidst the blinding sun and the biting cold,

Covered with dust and grime,

What a beautiful dream it is to behold.

Of summer days of our youth,

Of carefree exchange of music, ideas and thoughts,

When the seeds we had sown then have now borne fruit,

The days we pondered endlessly on connecting the dots.

 

Is it a dream or a memory,

A distant mirage of happiness which I could see.

Of a confused teen which was me,

Who was hopeful, curious and free.

 

I am not that teenage girl anymore,

I am maybe more, much more,

Someone who has since passed many a door,

Someone who has since seen many a  beautiful shore.

 

But the images in the desert which I have seen,

Remain as a requiem of a beautiful dream.
