The poor of South America have lost a doughty champion of the poor - here is my quick tribute to the great man set against the poetry of Funeral Blues by the poet W.H.Auden.

Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías born; 28 July 1954 -- died 5 March 2013 was the President of Venezuela from 1999 until his death in 2013. He was formerly the leader of the Fifth Republic Movement political party from its foundation in 1997 until 2007, when it merged with several other parties to form the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), which he led until his death.
