Don’t Destroy the Home  Hopeful Future

Think about the plants and trees,  Hope is like a festive season,
Mother earth needs some peace.  Hope is like a blooming flower,

Stop the vehicles,  Hope is like a plant,
Stop polluting the air. 
You destroy me every time  It came like so late,
But when I need you  But it vanished so fast,
From these incidents we learn a lot,
You never care 
I am burning like the sun  Hopeful future is like,
I am melting like the ice   One journey begins,
I am warning you once again  And another journey continues,

Take my advice   Future is like another minute,
I am you mother   Future is like another life,
I am your home 
I am earth, your ‘Home’. Future is like another happy or sad moment,

Adjusting for Future 

Once upon a time a girl stepped into a dimension 
All she had was tension 

The people she knew was none 
This place she thought of to be magical was simply not fun 

For her future she took the step 
But all she got was being upset
She started to fall in a world of negatives 
The girl who never had a drop of detrimental ness 

Had now an ocean of them 
To trust were none 

And to denounce was everyone 

Have I taken the
right decision 
Always she thought to herself 
But the sorrows were just not getting over 
She cried and cried but after a month the sobbing stopped

She accepted her fate 
 For anything else to be done it was late

She understood the importance of the place 
For her future she had to be in the space 
Future is important she exclaimed 

And if there is a downfall in that only one is to be blamed

Imagining a Hopeful Future Solace


Breathe in,
We humans are destroying mother earth, Breathe out.
Filling your eyes with dirt, That’s what they say,
But there’s still so much doubt.
Using liters of water in making jeans and
other clothes, Legs are shaking,
Breath is short,
But still, we keep up with hope Forehead sweating,
On my last resort.
We were born on this earth and were
meant to take care of it, What happens now,
Do I give in?
Covid-19 is decreasing the population a bit,
But still, we always keep up with hope. Will I just vanish,
Do they just win?
Hope is like a flower we don’t know if it will
be there tomorrow, But a hand which may be placed on my
shoulder,
People are depressed and drowning in
sorrow, A smile that may light up my day.
Will it be tougher as I grow older?
Sometimes I wish that I could borrow.
No, I think it’ll be okay.

Hope for the clock to tick again

Locked inside our houses,
With so much to say,

Yet nothing to converse about.
Everything else continued, but life had become a doubt.

Then, regulations were lifted,
A tiny seed of hope was planted.
We had something to look forward to,
After all, going out of these four walls had become long overdue.

Seconds felt like minutes,
Minutes felt like hours,

But after what felt like a decade,
It all started coming back to the original pace.
And luckily, life no longer felt like the end of a race.
We were back to the corridors, with sounds of laughter,
Back on our desks, with s
miles on our faces.
Back on the courts, with grunts of competition,

The world fe
lt whole again,
Now, it was time to
step on a new train.

Today, I see tomorrow, as a ray of sunshine.
All we can hope for, is for hours to feel like minutes,

Minutes to feel like seconds,
And to be free,
Once again.

Imagine The Upcoming

War, pollution, plastic, global warming Ran around the bushes of elation,
Are the words we hear today Careless on the worries of the world,

I so wonder to live in a beautiful green world Struck now upon dread.
We yearn to live in a place The time struck now upon dread,

Which might be without these On what could be in store,
On what could be in the upcoming.
Imagine a place without pollution
A place where people breathe without masks Over the course,
Chased after a silver lining,
Where the breeze flows through the trees The source for a possible ray of dream.
Where the air purifiers, air conditioners are less
To look up to,
used To copy and to replicate,
Where the mind and the heart ease with peace Nothing but a blank screen of unsatisfaction awaited.

Imagine a place without war The uncontrollable mind would drift away,
A place where people live in harmony and tranquility Lost in thought,
Where the birds chirp and the sun wakes up smiling
Across illusionary scenarios.
Where the sky and the ocean look alike But when it clicked,
The mother Earth at its best as we nurture her with
Could reach the point of realization.
care The upcoming would be right in front of my eyes.

Imagine a place with sustainability My title would speak heavy words,
A place where people are responsible and sensitive Whatsoever, not as much as I could.
My ownership would be respected,
Where there are more cycles than cars
More trees than plastic, more solar power than Yet all right before me.
My people would come together,

Where people live happily after. And in love they would feel.

One Day Hope for Everyone

That day my soul was parched, Hope is the only tool I need,
My wings as if they were paper, crumbled. Hope Is the thing I can feel.
I fall down a million times,
That day I fell on my knee, Life being the mountain to climb.
And my body detached from me.

I was left, abashed like a little bird, Hope and peace go together like bread and butter,
Those wings were wet, sagging. But unlike my room they have no clutter.
Hope runs it all like petrol,
One day I thought, maybe one day, Life being the car to drive.
But an eternity had passed by. And peace being the break,
That stops us from going too far.
My soul was parched but hope still ignited
That hope which never gave up Hope is for everyone,
One day I would fly, And everyone needs hope.
And that one day will come.
Things might mess up,
Kavya Rungta But hope helps us clean it all up.

As I share my story and my success,

To live in the big city, As I waited outside the gated cave,  
All alone, watching how my fate would unfold. 

Is it a dream come true?  
I hope for a future, You cannot retrace Time's steps. 

For hope to stay in my gaze. Continue forth with zeal.

The Inevitable My Dream World

His real colours are shown, With no sufferance, No pain,
He never watched his foul tone. No arduous nights, and no vain.
The future seems to be petrifying close,
The devils left our home, A world where technology roars.
But in our minds, he still roams.
Flying cars and crying crows,
Now we’re in our zone, and he is in his! Where carelessness might be a foe.
All by himself, he’s alone. Every vagrant might not know how to speak,
But will surely know how to use a phone.
She’s got the throne, his mouth dropped, he’s
blown, Climate change might sting like a knife,
Virtual reality would come into life.
What’s next, is unknown, The spread of plagues may reduce.
Although, the sun shines brighter.

The stars align upon thee, The distant hopeful future.

The Hopeful Future Time passes, I grow old,
The world becomes cold.
This is what a hopeful future looks like, Humanity is obsessed with gold,
Entrepreneurs are building their hike. Not realizing they're being controlled.

Full of bliss like a vivid rainbow, All resources are sold, 
People can be seen relaxing on their pillow. Histories are left untold.

People rise from their beds,  
Thinking about technology in their heads. Time passes, trying to uphold, 
Humanity starts to become bold. 
Global warming has no sign in this world today,
Electric cars and bikes are on their way. Wanting to erase the mold,
Everything starts to unfold.
Crime descending day by day, Humanity is ready to behold,
Food for everyone on the tray. For the universe, it must ahold.

Gadgets and technology roar, It ends exactly as foretold. 
No one has ever seen this world before.

Hopeful Future

Yearning for Joy Hopeful future is something we can never expect,

Two years it has been,  And our past is something we can never recollect
It’s amazing what I have seen,   
I was struck down more than once, 
As uncertainty enveloped life itself,   Always thank god for the day today, 
Like the night sky does to the day,   Then tomorrow pray for a holiday
Except, this night was longer than I could
 
say,   Taking your life slow is not that hard,
And when times were unclear,  It is just that you should be able keep within the flow 
Many hopes and dre
ams are shattered, 
I had nothing but fear,  So always make plans to become flattered  
When times were unclear, 
 
There was no one near,  It is strange about the thoughts you still remember  
I was isolated from life itself,  
But don’t worry too much about this And the things you forget  
But don’t worry life is full of splendor and regret  
horrendous sight,  
Because the future is bright,    
For hope lays within us all,   When you feel like you’re going down,
Hidden like a secret chest,  
And it's our destiny to find it and use it for You will need some hope,
Look deep into yourself and find the road to cope  
the best,  
Even if we are blind to it,    
All becoming late does is give an impression of hate, 
Nothing is forever,   But keep fate and it will open the gate to a HOPEFUL

FUTURE! 

All we can do is hope for the best and await Daiwik Kumar
our endeavor . MYP4 C1
