Closing Thoughts

Before The Antagonist sets about resting a very weary head, it just remains to offer heart-felt condolences to those who have suffered as a result of events in London on Thursday.

It's been a long day of much pain, anguish and anxiety for a lot of innocent people and the resilience of Londoners and everyone involved has been amazing.

Before parting, and lest we forget that any changes we desire in the world are down to each-and-every one of us, not Just8, a little inspirational change in vibe for the day ahead....

Oxygen, by Willy Mason

"I wanna be better than oxygen
So you can breathe when you're drowning and weak in the knees
I wanna speak louder than Ritalin
For all the children who think that they've got a disease
I wanna be cooler than T.V.
For all the kids that are wondering what they are going to be

We can be stronger than bombs
If you're singing along and you know that you really believe
We can be richer than industry
As long as we know that there's things that we don't really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
Cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet.

On and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until i'm dizzy, time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew.

I wanna see through all the lies of society
To the reality, happiness is at stake
I wanna hold up my head with dignity
Proud of a life where to give means more than to take
I want to live beyond the modern mentality
Where paper is all that you're really taught to create

Do you remember the forgotten America?
Justice, equality, freedom to every race
Just need to get past all the lies and hypocrisy
Make up and hair to the truth behind every face
That look around to all the people you see,
How many of them are happy and free?

I know it sounds like a dream
But it's the only thing that can get me to sleep at night
I know it's hard to believe
But it's easy to see that something here isn't right
I know the future looks dark
But it's there that the kids of today must carry the light.

On and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until i'm dizzy, time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew.

If I'm afraid to catch a dream
I weave you baskets and I float them down the river stream
Each one I weave with words I speak,
To carry love to your relief."

Baskets to you all, dear readers.
