This is a period of time
Where only this is happening and you can't escape
Where a moment comes and goes and you are presently in it
Where now is special yet ever-changing
And yesterday or tomorrow are at a far distance
Almost irrelevant
Because now is the reality you could bear to see
If I could have seen my now a year ago I would be in awe
If you were to tell me about my now before today I would think it was a fantasy
But now I can actually see
Passed the veil that was blinding me
Stopping my dream from happening
The thief of my present moments robbed me
A robbery I could never get back
A frame of time I couldn't claim again
I lost my past, future, and the precious present.
This is your period of time.
Now.
Take it.

Eclipse’s Visit
Everywhere it is dark, the sun goes on a trip, Creating chaos, making folks flip. Lunatics howl and claim it's the end, In reality, it's just a cosmic trend. People gather, their eyes to the sky, Solar glasses on, ready to spy. Even the birds seem a bit perplexed, Squirrels run around, feeling vexed.

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.
