'The Numbers'

After Barbès, Berlin, Bangui, Bristol, Belfast... do I need to find another city to just "be"?

I'm such a nomad.

I'm a migrant.

I'm a lost soul.

Looking for a safe haven.

And so many keep on rejecting people like me.

I'm a refugee.

But I think we're all refugees.

I'm a refugee from the crazy world of numbers!

I'm a traveller, I'm a migrant, I'm a transient animal and mind.

Because... I'm a Bee, you know.

(Melissa in ancient Greek means "honeybee".)

"Do you read me, HAL"...?

Because "The numbers don't decide". And if we let them, what will remain of us?

The numbers don't have to decide...

Radiohead - 'The Numbers'

..."We call upon the people

People have this power

The numbers don't decide

Your system is a lie

The river running dry

The wings of a butterfly

And you may pour us away like soup

Like we're pretty broken flowers

We'll take back what is ours

Take back what is ours"...
