FOOLISH OPTIMISM?
Many visions, still no mission
I’m not sure I have the passion
It’s more of my imagination
Following the path to that occupation
Many missions, still no visions
I have that passion
I express myself through fashion
But it’s not so in my nation
It’s more of a tiny fraction, until you become successful.
Or am I just a FOOL
Trying to change rules
I believe in making things new and improved
But the mindset of my peers, speak a different language
Sticking to the same old page, fills me up with rage
Their minds stuck in a cage, causing serious damage
Or I’m just a FOOL
I say once again
I want to make things new
Rather all I do is put a strain on my brain causing me pain
Maybe I just leave things the same old way
And I pray things will get better
Till then, I’ll put my brain in a cage too
Sticking to the rules on that same old page
