Bread of Heaven
In Gateshead once an Angel rose
To celebrate and to remind
Of greatness as achieved by those
Who weren't the profiteering kind.
A wealth creator who had seen
The spread of its majestic wing
Felt that its message should have been
A more constructive sort of thing.
"A focus for our hope and fear?
Your thinking is a bit confused.
There is no Art, nor Public here -
Just billboards that are not yet used."

I'm reminded of a cartoon from (I think) The New Yorker from a long time ago.
A man and a small boy are looking at a rainbow, and the man is saying, "It isn't advertising anything, dammit!"

Which is, of course, untrue. The rainbow is an advertisement by the CEO of Invisible Friends, Inc., of his intention never again to commit biocide by so inefficient a method as drowning.
