If I Were an Insect...
Big dreams of being small
If I were an insect...
Maybe I'd be a pious praying mantis,
wise and knowledgeable like the people of Atlantis.
If I were an insect...
Maybe I'd be a transformational butterfly,
a short, poignant, beautiful life, roaming the blue sky!
If I were an insect...
Maybe I’d be a hard working ant,
sneaking up the palm fronds of a nice plant.
If I were an insect...
Maybe I'd be a honey bee,
buzzing here and there, with lots of flowers to see.
If I were an insect...
Maybe I'd be a ladybug, bright and exquisite,
I'd be petite, yielding such discreet excrement.
But, I'm not an insect...I'm an elephant.

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.
