I have seen the world evolve, 

From the sepia hues

To the digital era. 

I have seen the world change, 

From being trampled by feet

To the tyre marks. 

I have seen the world being led, 

From the kings and warriors, 

To the political giants. 

I have seen the climate change, 

From seasonal drifts, 

To the global warming

I have witnessed the

Rise and fall 

Of mighty rulers and nations

I have silently supported

The cries of unison, 

Be it for labor rights or pride. 

I have seen myself change

From adorning the oil light lamps

To the solar powered lights

I am sure, I will be there

As a mute street witness

To the multitude of changes to come.
