What is wrong with our world,
That a little girl has to come home crying after a boy calls her ugly?
What is wrong with our world,
That a little boy is called a fag for coming to school in a princess dress?
What is wrong with our world,
That a girl who has so much potential takes her own life in a school bathroom?
What is wrong with our world that,
A young man has to drink and smoke the pain away?
Our world was made with so much potential,
But in order to fill that potential we first have to:
Stop calling people ugly.
We have to stop criticizing people for not only what they wear but how they identify themselves.
We have to stop being selfish and be a helping hand to others or we may continue seeing people die.
We have to stop all this hatred.
Then and only then will we finally fulfill our potential.

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.
