Just seen that Billy Elliot show
evoked the passion of not so long ago
when Thatcher and hate were synonymous words
communities smashed and anger stirred.
they imported coal at twice the price
cost didn't matter public funds would suffice
to demolish those men who went underground
the script had been written the last post would sound
on the men and their labour and all that they viewed
be it slag heaps and coal dust and chimneys that spewed,
you can't tell the miners it was done for their health,
it was just to secure all the power and the wealth.
Good show; made me cry
