Our world growing smaller;
far horizon drawing near.
Atmosphere of satellite traffic.
I can see your house from here.
Exotic species, aboriginal lives,
radiant plumage, neolithic spear.
Ethnic cleansing, burning corpses.
I can see your house from here.
See the world day-by-day,
pictures arrive bright and clear.
Reports of conflict span the globe;
and I can see your house from here.
Propaganda, heart and mind,
wide eyes full of fear.
Accurate strike or carpet-bomb.
I can see your house from here.
No work of fiction before the lens;
no paying audience to shed a tear.
Their reality makes perfect sense.
I can see your house from here.
Perceived threats, safety or greed;
now their meaning's all to clear.
Supposition's all you need.
"I can see your house from here".
