The Coffee Is Cold

Every day it draws
Nations of hidden shadows marching our way
Crying whispers trembling away

The dreamer dreams the prescribed same
Year after year it’s like a haunted game

Robots pushing their counterfeit way
Kids running astray
Striking fear it sends
Nobody seems to be friends
Threatening and forcing their way

The coffee is cold
I’m tired sick of growing old
The coffee is cold
I’m tired sick of growing old

Royal bloodlines
Approving outrageous fines
We wake up
To the same pale day
There’s nothing left to say

The coffee is cold
I’m tired sick of growing old
The coffee is cold
I’m tired sick of growing old

The world is on a tilt
Damn this system we built

Seems there’s nothing we can ever dream
No matter how loud we scream

The dream remains the empty same
Year after year it’s like a haunted game

I am in the wrong world, even more, I got stuck on the wrong little island with mentality back 100 years. And you know, I am not tired of growing old! My mission is to make the world a better place, to leave it better than I found it. And I MAKE changes I am proud of. When people say "But what can I do?" I always reply "Stop saying But what can I do and do something!"
I am paralegal Consultant, I am Human Rights Defender, I am a Challenger of a State I live in, besides, I am a water rescuer and tonight I am starting my abseiling and firefighting course as well.
I do save people both from death and from abuse, I do fight and change the laws and policies in the Country I live. Yes, I know what you say, I am a superwoman. But I do not want to be less. It is the only life I have.
Dare to fly?
