Eric Gill and the BBC

His body lies in a church yard
In SPEEN
Near Prince’s Risborough

Born in 1882
A sculptor so it’s said
A type face Designer the BBC
Have led
The charge
For this child molester
Who abused, his own
Which is Why they should disown
Such a man
But The BBC have his naked child
On their London frontage
It has truthfully riled
quite a lot of people
Who have tried to take it down
And now it’s in a protective box
Looking over London Town

He died in 1940
Of Lung Cancer we hear
Very weird his character
He brought a lot of fear
To his little daughters
So naked child we see
In front of the building
Owned by the BBC

Why would a corporation
Knowingly display
The artwork representing
An innocent child
Today
and everyday.
Why do this
A dead child unaware
It goes beyond a work of art
She permanently, bare
Which honestly isn’t fair
