With a road between us
You shouted your number
And that was how our friendship begun
The past no longer cumbered
As quizzical as it may be
How I was so behind in years
You never failed to see
The way our hearts cohere
Now I am left with your strokes on papers
Ever as debonair as you were
Even after your untimely departure
Your words have never been clearer
I shudder at the thought
of never hearing from you again
But in a silence so distraught
I know you are no longer in pain
Somewhere past the Karman line
Is where your new world will start
I hope you will give me a sign
That you are now amongst the stars

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.
