In the 20th century,
People had the first and second wars instilled in their memories
They didn’t know what to expect
In what way would the world direct?
Which problems would the next generation face?
And how much would they have to brace?
It also elated some to leave it all in the past.
Just to let go of the blast
It shone a new light among the people
It excited them to know that they would all be treated equally.
But little did they know,
It was all planned for them as a big blow!
As the 21st century came
It wasn’t all the same
Many blunders awaited them
But they were only near those
Some expected these to come their way
Yet some found them astray
In the 21st century,
Nothing anymore was the same
New advancements took place
Science changed its base
Technology evolved rapidly
Connecting people across the globe in ways never imagined before
The future seemed both promising and uncertain
As humanity navigated through uncharted territory with each passing day
With the rapid pace of change
Society faced both opportunities and challenges
The future held endless possibilities
But also unknown risks that would test their resilience
