And whilst they fete the babe of Bethlehem,

Ten thousand babes on earth die painful deaths

And millions live to live lives worse than death

And still the massacre of innocents

Goes on relentlessly. Poor innocents!

LINES TO THE WOOLWORTH BUILDING

Imposing pile of pale and polished stone,

Cathedral-like in thy solemnity,

Thy rectilinear grandeur awes my soul,

And makes me shudder!
