about

Well this is life imitating art in the most startling way. This was written well before the pandemic had started, but is the perfect soundtrack for these times we have found ourselves in. It was actually written based on a Facebook status of the late Harry Leslie Smith (The WW2 Veteran and Anti War Activist) where he had described one austere Christmas from his childhood. The Chorus is based on the traditional Poem For The Poor, reimagined for modern times. I look around at all of the wealth juxtaposed against all of the poverty and suffering on these streets, all I can do is write down.
