No faith, hope or charity: church status in jeopardy
The Sunday Times, 4 November 2012
The church’s season fast approaches,
doves ascending into the night sky
up above the buses betoken the start
of this year’s festive sales, electric stars
light pilgrims’ ways from west to east—
the long trough of Oxford Street.
To the greater glory of lesser Gods
incense and gold are traded for souls,
or for the want thereof. Hark! angels
sing from doorways to the ringing of tills.
