Lights out
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
Optus crashed
Westpac this week
Living on the edge
Trusting fools
It must be said.
What happens when the power goes out? Greening the world I have my doubts.
The electronic age has taken control, a hungry beast that will eat our souls.
If you think it's your savour then look about,
The whole thing collapses when the lights go out.
