"Omelas" by Amanda Sukenick (With help by ChatGPT ; D) 
Ukulele & vocals Performed by Rei - Thank you!! 
Dedicated to Matti Häyry, without whom none of this would be possible.

In the dark, underneath
I'm the child they hide beneath their feet 
Locked away from the world's sweet song 
From womb to tomb, but I don't belong

Do they know the price they pay 
For their joy, each and every day
I'm the one they've chosen to ignore 
Sacrificed behind this hidden door

Chorus:
Omelas, Omelas, city of delight 
Omelas, Omelas, but for me, it's an endless night
Omelas, Omelas, a burden, a hidden stain
Omelas, Omelas, in the shadows, I'll remain

I dream of nothing, of broken chains 
Escaping the darkness, where suffering reigns
But in Omelas, our destiny is sealed
Trapped in this cycle, our voices concealed

No more, no more, let the cycle end
It’s no more suffering that we must defend 
Forced into existence, against our will
Omelasian children, let’s make an end

Chorus

Bridge:
Every constructive eruption
Feeds the collective seduction 
But I’ll cause a destructive disruption 
One day end this procreative corruption

And so friends, let the cycle end 
It’s no more suffering, that we must defend 
Omelasian children, lets walk away 
There’s no need for another day

To those who dare, to truly care, why create, this despair

My name is Nimrod and bout 10 months ago I started doing street anti-natalism activism with the aim of establishing an anti-natalist movement in Israel calling for an end to reproduction. To my surprise it is working better than I thought. This experience has filled me with a sense of belief and hope: if there is room for street activism on such an issue in a place like Israel, even though for all sorts of reasons this country is far from ideal place to start spreading messages about reproduction, I think it can work in many areas of Europe. I think we must try to make this happen.
 
 That's why I decided to go on a journey to try and promote anti-natalism activism throughout Europe. The journey will begin on April 15 and will include over 30 cities in 45 days.
 
 The goal of this journey is to try and initiate grassroots activism in Europe, so obviously the best thing I am hoping for is that people simply join me at the outreach events. That's literally the whole point of this thing. To help initiating some street activism in the hope of spreading anti-natalism across the continent on a regular basis.
 
The best thing you can do if you want to help is of course to get to the activity, because that's the whole idea of this journey. But if it doesn't work out for you with your schedule, or you really don't want to be public with this worldview or whatever reason you have but you still want to help, the best way to help in general, and financially in particular, is if you can host me for the night. Beyond a significant cut in expenses, it would be really nice to meet likeminded people and spend an evening with them. I would very much appreciate such an option if you can.
 
 For more details about the EuropeAN Tour, or to join the journey’s WhatsApp group, please send a message to the following Email: [email protected], or send a private message on Facebook to ‘AN T Natalism’, URL: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085281495305
