My head has a heart beat
I hear it pulsing in my ears like
the tempo of a base drum
The pain pulls at my eyes
like two elephants sitting on the optic nerves
ready to slip them back into my head
Glimpses of light through the shades
where the particles float like fairy dust
are blinding
I grit my teeth pushing back
the lump in my throat
that is brought with dreaded thoughts
Chapped bags beneath my eyes
where salty tears have worn
burn at my touch
How I yearn for sweet release

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.
