The wrong place along the wrong timeline,
A comedy of happenstance,
But let's venture into this open minefield,
Let's dance, let's run, let's dance.
Let's follow this recipe for organized chaos,
And other such contradictions,
Let's light it on fire and drink it down,
Like other such vices and careless addictions.
Lodged in my lungs, you'll hear a strong, yet timid, battlecry,
A pervasive, unknown hunger that nothing can quite satisfy,
A feeling I know I shouldn't have yet, nevertheless, can't quite classify,
An undiscerning burning, a yearning I can't qualify or quantify,
Nothing to gain, nothing to lose, nothing to indemnify.
I wield the passion of a god of war,
who can't recall what they're fighting for.

The time my sis and I saw aliens
When I was about 8-10 years old (I don't remember exactly), my sister and I were at a family party hosted by my uncle's parents. Being Mexican, our parties typically involved lots of relatives, their kids, and random friends, so there were probably 20-25 people there. The party was in my uncle's parents' driveway and front yard, with tables of food in the driveway and kids playing in the front yard where there was a bouncy house.

The Gen Z Entrepreneurial Revolution
It is hardly debatable that the world has always been run by a bunch of aging dinosaurs, mostly male, who refuse to allow the younger generation to bring about changes. Politicians and leaders everywhere refuse to release the reigns of creativity and leadership until they are dead or dying. It is time to give the young a chance to revolutionize and change the entire landscape of their existence. Those of us with one foot in the grave, so to speak, should wake up and realize that we are not the ones who will be living in the world in the years to come.
