In the year 2025 if man is still alive
if woman can survive…
What will remain of all we’ve known,
The seeds we’ve sown, the dreams we’ve grown?
Will cities stand or crumble down,
Steel towers fade into the ground?
Will skies be clear or choked with smoke,
As nature bends beneath the yoke?
In digital realms, will minds retreat,
Or will they rise, reclaim their feet?
Will silence reign where voices spoke,
Or truth emerge from fear’s dark cloak?
The air we breathe, the food we taste—
Will all we love be laid to waste?
Or will we find, through trial and tear,
A better path, a future clear?
In 2025, if hearts survive the storm,
Will kindness be the new-born norm?
Or will the past repeat its cries,
If man is still alive,
And woman can survive?
In The Year 2025
