1929 - Week 22

1929

Godfrey was a forgotten man
to the world he once ruled
living amongst his brethren,
those who were once giants.
But now their tattered suits
and dingy overcoats
told a tale of how a life crashes
as the Depression sets in.
They tip their hats still,
but their stained fingers
leave prints on the brims.
Grateful for a can of beans
and a match to keep the fire lit.
A little warmth,
when society turns a cold shoulder.


Inspired in part by the movie “My Man Godfrey”
