The Future..? ? Poem by Karpop Riba

The future often fills me with an exhilarating mix of excitement and uncertainty. It's like standing on the edge of a vast abyss.. with the winds of change whispering secrets in my ear. But amidst the rush of anticipation, there is a flicker of worry that dances within me, begging for attention.

My most persistent concern lies within the very fabric of our humanity—how we may navigate the labyrinthine corridors of progress. We find ourselves hurtling forward at lightning speed, propelled by the tantalizing promises of technology. It's like a rollercoaster ride, exhilarating and terrifying all at once. Will we plunge too far into the depths of our digital creations, losing touch with the warmth of human connection? I shudder at the thought of becoming mere spectators of life, caught in a perpetual loop of scrolling and swiping.

And let's not forget the specter of uncertainty that casts its shadow over the future. What unexpected trials await us? Will we be challenged to our very core, forced to adapt in ways we never thought possible? It's a tumultuous dance with destiny, and I can't help but wonder if we'll stumble or find grace in the chaos.

But I firmly believe in the resilience that beats within our collective human heart. We are a species woven with threads of ingenuity, compassion, and unyielding spirit. Time and again, we have risen from the ashes, fueled by ambition and an unwavering will to thrive.

So, in the face of these worries, I choose to be an active participant in shaping the future that lies ahead. I will embrace the challenges as opportunities for growth and harness the power of innovation to build bridges rather than walls. Together, we will forge a path illuminated by empathy, sustainability and the unwavering belief that a brighter tomorrow is possible.

Yes, the future may be a tapestry woven with fears and uncertainties… but within that tapestry lie the seeds of extraordinary potential. Let's cultivate them with courage and determination, and together, we will create a future that surpasses our wildest dreams.
