It doesn’t matter what you say as long
as your voice keeps echoing
across all social media channels
you are sure to end up being some
psychopath’s beacon.
I envy your dead star ways.
You can always bring that
vise grip gravity to the air
light moments.
Many recoil from your brutish
truth. But for me you are the
stiletto reality check between the
ribs. A glimpse into the thrill of
the plunging roller-coaster ride or
the horror of its derailment.
I understand the fear but turning
your back on the train won’t make
it go away regardless of what Iron
Age fairy-tale you pray to.

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.
