Generation growing up today,
Feeling the pang inside,
Feeling the urge to do something,
That urge they never
felt until tonight.

The kids have seen it
all in one go,
Their history books recreating all scenes,
The epidemics of pasts
all zooming by,
The partition trauma they saw with immigrants moving,
The thousands of death
they saw happening,
No wonder they grew
a lot in a week,
Innocence making
conviction of becoming
something one day.

Kids today learnt the careers and career paths,
They understood the reason
to study,
to earn,
to contribute
to the society,
They have grown a lot tonight with clear meaning of purpose of being born.

The generation that
grew on technology,
Never really understood much of old beliefs,
Washing hands,
feets, mouth seemed
unreasonable burden,
To eat fresh veggies to increase immune system
was out of question,
Tonight they have become intelligentΒ Β that books
couldn't make them,
Immunity and germs they have learnt a lot.

I thus pray to God,
To let them be alive,
hail and healthy,
Let them be unscathed with this horrible disease,
These kids will become the future tomorrow,
They will read the history that He created,
Let them be least affected Dear God, for they can lead the human race forward,
Not many from us will
move forward in this
turbulent time,
But let the kids go forward and live a long life,
For we have given them all the knowledge,
that Noah might
have known on that ship
to create a fresh world!

Let them be happy and shiny,
For they have to believe You existed,
We have filled them with all the prayers,
They will carry the legacy of human kind forward.
