It was early in the season
Yet all the leaves lay dying.
We thought we’d have more time
With the plume and finery of the season;
With the golds and reds,
With the sun dappled browns.
We smiled good night last night’
Only to be awakened by violence.
The wind cracking trees,
Stripping our world of it’s vibrancy.
The destruction sped two miles in each direction,
And the East, West, North and South bore no resistance.
The sounds too were strange and stunning.
And I called you that morning to add to the chorus.
I thoughts my words were banal
Despite the storm that had brewed and destroyed last night,
I didn't think my words possessed any violence.
Merely the truth of our own storm
You however, found them destructive deadly, final.
And so,
It was early in the season
But our time had come to an end.

The time my sis and I saw aliens
When I was about 8-10 years old (I don't remember exactly), my sister and I were at a family party hosted by my uncle's parents. Being Mexican, our parties typically involved lots of relatives, their kids, and random friends, so there were probably 20-25 people there. The party was in my uncle's parents' driveway and front yard, with tables of food in the driveway and kids playing in the front yard where there was a bouncy house.

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.
