Beautifully written, Kaustav. Your imagery is powerful, and the poem captures the optimism, courage, and creativity of Gen Z with grace. I especially loved the lines, "Each question a lantern held high in the rain, each answer a bridge over old human pain." Perhaps a subtle acknowledgement that today's generation stands on the foundations laid by those before them could make the tribute even richer and more balanced. After all, every dawn is born from the night that came before it.
