THIS IS THE FUTURE WORLD I SEE As I close my eyes to envision the future world, Blake's words resonate in my senses- 'To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour' Setting aside all the paradoxes and the suffering of the pandemic at present, the future world I see is the bouquet of myriad colours of love, hope and space. It's a place where all the elements of nature are in harmony; where there are no tussles and ego struggles; where there is not a man against another, where there is not a species threatened by another; where the seasons spiral in graceful symphony with the elements, where the elements are in most pristine form; where the only weapon we can useis “Six feet apart but together at heart”. Akshara Waie (Class VI)
