Who Said Slavery Died?
Bent double over machines and shirts
Sewing from dawn to dusk
Hard work
Little pay
All in the name of profit
Stuffy factories in scorching heat
With little time for breaks
Hard work
Little pay
To produce clothes for the West
We often admire clothes
But do we appreciate the
Hard work
Little pay
People have for latest trends
We say slavery has ended
But we wear the clothes
That prove its existence
At What Price?
The world is getting smaller
But at what price?
Big companies moving in everywhere
Giving people a “chance to work”
Everyday. For peanuts.
It’s great to be able to send a message
To
But as the world gets smaller
More and more are exploited
By those with sights on the bottom line.
So next time someone utters
“We’re living in a global village”
Think how it is
That we can be so close
And yet so far
We give aid, but debt remains
We have wealth, but famine rages
We preach fair trade but exploit the nations
The world is getting smaller
But the problems only grow.
