    The poem reflects on the passage of time and the deterioration of humanity and our relationship with the earth. It describes how greed, violence, and fear now dominate our world as we prioritize money and weapons over compassion. However, the author maintains hope that we can create positive change if we work to end corruption, terrorism, and come together in peace instead of division. The closing lines express the author's choice to lead by example through moral action rather than misdeeds as a way to impact the future when looking back through the sands of time.

    Sands of Time.

    When I look back In sands of time, I really feel ashamed, To see the human raceBleeding and tamed. Where the world is heading No one knows, Yet we want everything, Beneath our toes, Our feeling towards earth Rarely grows. When I look back In sands of time, The path of violence is what Greedy men chose. When I was born At a time not long gone, I realized that this creature Called man Wants everything on which He can lay his hand! I learnt A,B,C to begin with, And started questioning Every myth. Thats when my teacher Showed me the away, And told me to keep Problems away In the morning sunlight Bright and gay, I remember those swings On which we loved to sway! When I look back In sands of time, I see children playing with ease And realize that broken hearts Are more painful than bleeding knees! Then I became a boy Enthusiastic and curious, Just like every other teenager Id also get furious. But instead of speaking words evil And creating wounds That would never heal, I prayed for everyones goodwill And once a while Had the pleasure of sharing my meal! When I look back In sands of time, I see myself Becoming strong and brave,

    Corollary to others Who chose to be weak and nave! Today I see the world Full of paranoia, Mad money minded men Stricken with hysteria, Their hearts stone cold Noise of gunfire Never getting old! We want peace is what Everyone hears But deep in our hearts, Theres always a fear. People fight with Arrows and stone Then talk of losses, And mourn. We live in an illusion, There are many problems But no solution! When I look back In sands of time, I see science progressing Day and night, But it hasnt been able to Throw any light On the behaviour of our dark hearts And our tendency to fight!

    Yet all is not lost And there is still a chance, To create an ecstatic, evergreen earth again If we come out of this virtual trance This is not the time to weep, It is the time to take a giant leap. To honestly defy corruption And peacefully crush terrorism. In this cruel world Full of peril, I thank my mentors for being vigil. When I look back In sands of time, All I see is a world Full of CRIME! But while others took The path of misdeed, I chose to create a path Where I could lead! -Ashay Makim (Head Boy) XI-A
