We are so busy going around in circles we have lost our bearings. We can continue to blame ‘them’ or we can take back control of our lives, our bodies and our freedoms.

We are stuck in the moment. And we need to get out of it.
I’m not afraid
Of anything in this world
There’s nothing you can throw at me
That I haven’t already heard
I’m just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company
There is no doubt that #U2 has tapped into something quite extraordinary in Vegas, but it should not be seen as the Beginning of the End.
I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby
It is in fact a New Beginning, one single wonderful move to take back our lives, to say screw war and manufactured friction and their constant control of everything from our money to our bodies and our freedoms.
You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment
And now you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it
There is nothing stopping us from starting to live life again. Other than the fake fear they have been generating for the past 20+ years, from the War on Terror, to the pandemic to ‘the cost of living crisis’ and ‘inflation’ and now the New Wars. Almost of which comes from one single source.
I was unconscious, half-asleep
The water is warm ’til you discover how deep
I wasn’t jumping, for me it was a fall
It’s a long way down to nothing at all
Enough. It is time to once again Get Up Stand Up. Freedom is more than just another word. It is actually part of what it means to be human. Any human, around the world. Not just the centre of the known universe.
And if the night runs over
And if the day won’t last
And if our way should falter
Along this stony pass
And if the night runs over
And if the day won’t last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass
It’s just a moment
This time will pass
