A 50 year dream — Ashish Krishnan

I dream of a world and society more inclusive,
Where all races, genders, religions, castes, and creeds
Shed superiority and embrace unity,
Empathy, and respect as human needs.

I dream of a world and society kinder to Earth,
Where we treat the environment with care and worth,
Recognize our impact on climate change,
And take collective action before it’s too late.

I dream of a world and society where technology
Breaks barriers and brings solutions to reality,
Where ideas are shared and progress is made,
For the betterment of all, not just a select trade.

I dream of a world and society where stereotypes
Are broken, resources used sustainably,
And excess shared to benefit all,
Creating a future that’s truly equitable.

As Nelson Mandela said,
education is key,
Empowering people to change the world they see,
So I dream of a future where St.Xavier’s Sahibganj is a beacon of hope and a model for change,
Where every Xaverian embodies these principles,
Creating a world where Oneness reigns.
