Being pampered
Written by Abel Johnson Thundil
Worm
Finding it’s way through a doormat,
A maze.
Cursing it all its life.
Because it was the only life
He had known.
He thought the mat was limiting his freedom.
But it was protecting him
From dogs,
From weather,
From human feet.
Trying to get out.
Getting out.
But it couldn’t crawl on the marble floor.
It had stayed in the mat.
No.
It had become the mat.
It could never become
Itself.
Because ‘itself'
Was not given a chance to exist.
The worm
Wanted freedom.
Someone stepped on it
And it became free
Forever.

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.
