Dr Jawahar Surisetti creates a song of hope for a better world in future
Dr Jawahar Surisetti , eminent speaker and psychologist, writes a song
from the eyes of a teenager , centennial or millennial about the times today
and raising hope for a better tomorrow . Titled “ Hope - today and hence “ the
lyrics express the angst of today and a vision for future filled with love ,
peace and happiness .
The poet creates scenes that are going around a teen just before the
corona virus pandemic , the chaos during the outbreak and lockdown followed by
a futuristic view of the world . There are two formats , one of which is the
poetry itself and the other format is a musical version which has been arranged
and composed by Jagrit Surisetti and sung by Nazia Bhasin and Akshay P .
Hope - today & hence
(Today And tomorrow from the eyes of a teenager)
By Dr Jawahar Surisetti
The TV blared , as I glared ,
Trump was through
And the Shaheen Bagh view ,
Hot news from across the world .
People everywhere ,
Parents stressed with exams ,
Youth clamouring for admissions ,
Election buzz settled down ,
Olympic , Wimbledon and IPL,
Set to take over the screens .
Life is good with friends ,
Fun and togetherness forever .
One night a virus crept in ,
Infected mankind here and there .
I woke from the bed ,
To see a different world .
Scared and scarred ,
Shattered and battered .
Hundreds dead , millions in fear .
Losing lives , near and dear .
Streets deserted, cities locked ,
The world together shocked .
Forgot all fights of might,
Figuring out what’s wrong and right .
Human mind enters new stage ,
Past glories and achievements ,
Have bloated the ego ,
New challenge ,left no way to go .
Running for cover,
Public life over ,
Stay and home to stay safe ,
The only cure to save life .
Aggressor becomes meek,
As the virus makes life bleak.
Scientists continue to frown
As the World locks itself down.
In my lifetime of twenty
I have seen egos aplenty.
First time I see a creature
Which sets heart on fear .
First time I see the society
Out of politics of divide .
First time I see heads fall
To unknown from Know All.
First time I see families together
Till now falling apart .
First time I see numbers
That I still uncertainty and fear.
I wish to see post Corona ,
Mankind with humility ,
Religions sans fanaticism .
God and science together ,
Nature and innovations
Spur the progress of nations .
Men and women equal ,
Rich and poor sleep well .
Hunger not to exist ,
Good health to persist .
Happiness and prosperity,
Keep the planet in peace .
