I noticed the junkie scratching his arm on the train,
I noticed the drunk singing sweet Jesus,
I noticed the hookers on Grey Street,
I noticed the studs in her nipples,
and I noticed the books on her shelves,
Emma Goldman, Patti Smith,
I noticed people drowning
off Christmas Island,
I noticed the rise of bigotry and hate,
and I heard the sounds of storm troopers
marching through our streets,
I noticed the last gasp
of a dying woman,
and a child crying in her crib,
I noticed the war being played out,
entertainment for the bored,
I noticed the flood,
I noticed the fire,
I noticed the cyclone,
and I noticed the tangerine sky as
the forest went up in smoke,
and I noticed the darkness enveloping our
earth,
I noticed the light.
