Our Man inEurope, dave delacroix....COVID-19-Cold wind to Valhalla
North of England, Industrial City-suburbs, kids razed 1950s like Gangs, borrow shoes, shirts, shorts to wear, the rest to the Bundle Man. Clothes by the pound, take em down there in someone-s PRAM, maybe the latest kid gets a comfy ride. And ALWAYS at night, under naked bulbs, crowded-bartering, mischief abundance, post-war SURVIVAL in this Green and Pleasant land! And HEY!! The RAG n BONE Man clanging-weekly on terraced house streets. Here-s MY Kid-s heart, age 4, maybe U take it away! But there=s NO,,,as usual...no UK Business Plan, no MARSHALL plan. No TOILET, no COUPON, certainly no DIVIDEND except the scars on Spitfire Pilot-s faces, the one-s that survived, the traumatized Merchant Seamen harried by U-Boats, 55,000 Merchants-men-casualties in the ATLANTIC COLD OCEAN to keep the U.K. fed, and the Miners who KEPT on Mining, the Ladies who OUTRANKED History, industry, Armed Forces and beat back EVIL. Shoulder to Shoulder! ....What Price your NIKES...
COVID-19. It-s a cold wind from Valhalla. And now it-s up to You!...
