Sunshine, spirits climb
Brushing pain away
Dark thoughts, of winter nights
And crushing thoughts held at bay
***
Red faces, souls warmed through
Hats on jaunty angles
Sunglasses shade squinting eyes
Wine glasses held by handles
***
Summer laughs, music playing
Smiling at passers-by
Bar-be-que smoke, swimming pool splashes
Happiness in the air
***
Summer is truly the time of year
When pain is washed away
Dark thoughts, of winter nights
And crushing thoughts held at bay

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.
