Year 3016

A story of future world this is,

100 years from now in 3016 this story's place is.

100 years from today,

In 3016 there will be only black days.

Machines won't be controlled by us,

But we would be controlled my machines.

An old man of 3016 says remembering his childhood,

That there used to be trees with beautiful logs of wood.

There used to be a place for sentiments and feelings ,

there used to be bond between humans like siblings.

He continues by telling his present in 3016 ,

That no human has trust on each other and think each other mean.

They have no beautiful environment and nature ,

which will be seen and enjoyed happily by old and mature.

To breathe, there is no fresh air ,

for poisonous gases rich industrialists don't care.

Everywhere there is only destruction ,

True relation has nowhere its foundation for construction.

Then he curses his ancestors of 2016 ,

saying them mad and mean.

Says this 3016 punishment ,

was their testament.

They paved the way for destruction ,

they were cause of this bad condition.

They used resources unlimitedly ,

They harmed mother nature recklessly.

They sowed the seeds of fragile relation ,

by fighting with other nation.

They never preferred peace but always war ,

sufferers the people of 3016 are.

Hey , friends just one last question ,

Do you all want in 3016 such condition?

Then please do reform yourself ,

from curses of your descendants in 3016 you can protect yourself.

Adopt a witful approach towards environment ,

Not only for fulfilling ones selfish needs human life is meant.

At least care about your future generation ,

Do not fight with other nation....

Having seen so many changes in my 87 years, I can offer you some comfort. Life adapts. Our parents had the same fears about "progress", but somehow nature always strikes a balance.
Your poem shows a very mature depth of thought and the subtle end rhymes made me read it several times,which, in my opinion,helped to reinforce your message and caring attitude. I enjoyed that..

I sincerely hope you feel better now that you have written and shared these words... I sincerely hope that from today onwards, the world will progressively become a better and more peaceful place.... we must start somewhere and we dont have forever to introduce more compassion, fellowship and steps towards greater global understanding and peace... on the other hand, maybe we do..... Neville:)

We all know it! Our ancestors too knew what was coming. Modernization has brought more permanent damage to our environment than the advantages. Well done. Good thoughts on the futuristic approach and the life that we will be giving to our future generation!

Riddi,
Your words ring true. Your poem sends a very sober message of the future of our fragile ecosystem. Much wisdom in your words, only will the powers that be listen to anyone? We need strong, intelligent young people as yourself to keep drumming the message. I love reading your poetry, there is an innocent yet honest message in everything that you write.
Peace & Blessings,

Hundred years from now, I doubt whether there will be any human alive on this planet. You have given a question to ask ourselves. What we are leaving here for the next generation? A planet to live on or a planet to escape from? The poem is really intense though some lines seemed a bit too long. It would've been more catchy if you wrote those more concise. Keep putting forward thoughtful ideas while improving your style. Good job Riddhi.

[Riddhi]

Thank you..Yeah , I know that I need to improve a lot..And I will do my best to do that..Anyway , Thanks for your review...

this is an extremely meaningful message and gratifying that it comes from the younger generation that will be subjected to mankind's previous errors.
