Starting with innocent curiosity
The slow and subtle seduction
Becoming the life of the party
Impossible to resist the attraction
Of abandoning every little worry
The constant struggle to survive
Spawns a world of my own creation
Forgetting about the need to strive
The slow cycle of self-destruction
When everything begins to dive
Scratch the itch rip it all to shreds
Better to embrace the side of insanity
Drive away all thoughts of distress
Escape the hardships of reality
Sink further into the abyss

Poem from my current work-in-progress, a memoir of sorts comprised of poetry and prose.

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.
