When I Needed You
a poem
Hard times, no stronger to this.
Grown-up fast.
Never to appreciate fun or joy.
You took so much away.
While others got to enjoy being taught how to wear makeup and bond.
You had been a coward.
You never loved me.
You never appreciated me.
Louise this, Louise that.
Harsh words were shared.
No meaning to living
No appreciation for the brightness of the light.
All of my life I asked myself, what did I do? To deserve this.
Never once did I get an answer.
You took it all, hidden behind the darkness you cling to.
I want to say I hate you, but my heart says I love you.

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.
