Where is Jesus, where is Mary

Where is Jesus, where is Mary,
where is Joseph in this crowd,
here where commerce feeds subversion,
elevates the rich and proud.
Mother, father and, and a baby,
shoved by bureaucratic creeds,
soon to cross a nation's borders,
crowds will denigrate their needs.

Lasers beaming, neon flashing,
shop fronts pleading, 'buy me now!'
Wealth and poverty colliding,
life, as then; not different now...

Verse 2 continues followed by verse 3

Tune: ST WINIFRED
