It’s been a while
I realise
As the sun comes peeping through
It’s been a while
Since days were filled
With actual things to do
It’s been a while
Since I spoke aloud
My voice box croaks with dust
“It’s been a while”
I apologise
Explaining like I must
It’s been a while
My cheeks are weak
From smiling back to strength
It’s been a while
My eyes well up
From gazing at you at length
It’s been a while
And I’ve forgot
Do we shake or elbow tap?
It’s been a while
So social norms
Have fallen through the gap
It’s been a while
Since I’ve been scared
But it soon comes creeping in
So bear with me
As I will you
As we say how long it’s been

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.
