[[I SAW GOD ON BOURKE STREET]]



The World:
- A construct created by mankind, close your eyes and join the blind.
Share portfolios pay dividends, an investment property, a mercedes benz.
Economic stimulus packs, interest rates and income tax,
ten news, first at five, tune in for all the facts.

Disguised as time, hours pass,
Cognac, Merlot, fill your glass.

It's 9am at King and Bourke,
law school grads. are off to work.

Latte, Mocha, fill your cup,
a caffeine hit to wake you up.

Light filters through like a rising tide,
the eyes of my Heart are open wide.
In this moment God, Truth, Beauty and Art,
like an undercurrent, as the world falls apart.
