The Matter of Eve
She started it all, didn't she?
do you ever think of her,
that first woman to walk the soil,
the one who birthed realms
after being thrown from paradise?
do you ever wonder how it hurt
to be tossed by a golden seraph,
her belly swollen with child,
her lips still stained by an apple?
do you ever see in her struggle
the rue of women everywhere,
always blamed for men's choices,
while just holding out a hand?
do you ever stop and ponder
how her strain came to be,
a mother without glory,
a girl without a home?
do you ever think of her,
the one who birthed it all,
her name cursed by history,
all for just one mistake?

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.
