They will build no more of
these winged tributes;
the feathered stones
of the Empire in flight
with God on our Tyne Side.
There will be
no more heroes like
Cowen and Armstrong
and Stephenson and Grey.
Their self made sculptures
have come
to a standstill.
Baked in dust and
bird shit,
they shelter from
a Life on the Dole.
KEITH ARMSTRONG
