Anushka Mimani, Class X B
Look around, take a look around our world,
They say it is filled with colour, everywhere,
Happiness, laughter… life is perfect.
But you don’t see
Dishonesty, suffering, the fake smiles they wear.
Now look again, but this time with an X-ray beam for an eye,
A black and white picture will be seen.
No deception, only reality, rid of illusion, rid of lies.
This is the way the world has always been.
Corrupted with human follies and sins,
Gradually moving away from the ‘ideal’ place,
In the near future, the world will drown,
It will perish, leaving no trace.
Of the cruel human, with unfaithful traits,
And a new world will be born, one with actual colour
With its inhabitants having a heart, alive, not sitting idle,
It will be forever bright, not becoming any duller.
