Held On for Today
Short Poem. When Personal Vendetta Turns Grievance
At first a euphemism not left entirely in peace,
Dancing in the midnight
sweep the emotions of the damaged souls.
Yet tattered lay the aspirations of that day
When the occasion finally arrived, that once sweetly bitter
,But naive,
dream faded into nothing,
Faster than an artist drys his brush.
One part of the two, one half stays sober. The second completely intoxicated by life's infatuated glory
Switch and turn off the foolish necessity of the reckoned,
if one likes to feel content become the first half, not the second.

Yet to Overcome
A trait once over bestowed, now stands deceived under the willow The air albeit sweet, sticks self-inflicted with doubt Yet until grace grievously shows promising trust, a death relived inside each giant shall never again be put to rest. A giant being a bringer of personal source, to inspire and destroy falsified dealings of the mind, he may also lay the seed for poetic dissonance amongst peering widows

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.
