Gifts of Love
A poem about the absurdity of Valentine's Day norms.
A box of chocolates, jewelry, a gorgeous red rose,
what is it you expect from the partner you chose?
I'd rather get time, a lifetime in fact,
a smile, memories, a best friend with whom I can effortlessly interact.
Let's bury the cliche shows and water meaningful love so it grows.

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.
