You know what's rare?
I'll tell you...
You know what's rare?
One day, just one day that I don't have the terrible selfishness of humanity shoved in my face.
Unbelievable people stuck in their own worlds
Constantly abusing those around them with their
Actions and words, all in the name of freedom.
Noooo...Please stop in the middle of the aisle to check your phone and ignore everyone around you, or
Fly up my ass on a backroad going 20 miles over the speed limit. I don't want to bear witness to another
Unhappy shopper using ugly language to berate someone that makes less than minimum wage
Cuz they want to return something they no longer have a receipt for, simply because they can.
Kindness has turned into a party trick only pulled out for the
Right people at school bake sales and posted to
Instagram stories to put on a fake show.
Givers that only give bullshit.
Haters that bleat like sheep, swallowing rhetoric without
Thinking for themselves or doing the legwork to understand.
One day, just one day I'd like to not be concerned
For the human race as a whole,
For fuck's sake!

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.

I hate it when people act stupidly, especially making the lives of others worse. Though, I will admit I have done at least one of the things on this list.
Slam the brakes! Shear the sheep! Slap the phone! The day of reckoning is coming for these short sighted selfish suckers. Tell it, Heather 🥰
I agree. I am one of those people that actually speaks up to people being ridiculously rude. Unfortunately we will never be rid of rudeness... But we can try one person at a time.
Yeah Damnit! This got me raring to go this morning! AWESOME!
Oof why is this all so true?? 🤷🏼♀️🤣. Loved it! ❤️
I hear you AND I want to read the counterpoint.
I fricken love this. I only wish it wasn’t so accurate😔
I love a good rant
YES!! 💕
🤣🤣🤣 FFS! This poem needs to win!!!! @vocal 🤣 Love it.
I find it unfortunate that on this platform there is as much selfishness, and not much supportiveness for one another. People are leaving in dramatic numbers, disillusioned and unhappy. The focus is on specific and not the overall. I get it. We all need to build our own little groups and find our own way. It makes me a little sad. But that is just me. Still, I love to write, so I do it for me. People kinda sucks these days. Still .........
‘Put on a fake show’ … absolutely! I connected with this wholeheartedly, Heather 💕🙂
This is sadly true. This Millenium we have seen a creeping return of entitlement and spitefulness exacerbated and encouraged by the reach of social media. Excellent work.
That was a fun read
This was absolutely awesome!! So much love for you! This spoke volumes 💕
It's okay...You said a lot of what we are all thinking about on a daily basis. Sometimes you just have to let it out. I loved the follow up about checking out this "Less cranky piece." lol. Hearted.
Omggg, this is soooo true! Humanity and kindness is so hard to come by these days. Loved your poem!
Very relatable!!! Loving it!!!
Truth! Preeeeeeach! Yay Heather!
You had me at stopping in the middle of the aisle lol. Well done ♥️ Looking for that rare day 😊
I love this! I envy your rawness. You speak some incredible truths here. I think many of us have these same thoughts, thank you for writing them down! I really love the way you crafted this. :) Bravo!!
Damn. Well said! Bravo! I like the crankiness! Well put and lovely acrostic work! Do I hear the pitter-patter of Top...Story?
Omg!! This is fantastic! Absolutely nailed it, my friend.
