Dirty Little Secrets
By defrage
Beneath the sacred words and Better world of light;Lifestyle promisesTo the conquered colonies.Under the wheels of an empty doctrine,That this presence will make things better – The mud that gives it life.The horrid colours that complete the circle,An unwanted child;This dirty little secret.Hidden in the deepest cornersOf this construction;Away from the thoughts of dearest customers,Where the slaves are kept in harness.In concrete death camps,A legion of children molested,Without reward; producers of surplusFor TNC’s, whose garbage,Indisposable, is a dirty little secret.Sunken eyes betray youthful years,Sweet sixteen, Slave for a penny;Exploited by overlords in dark grey suits,With only money on the mind.Another life of labour bought cheap,She’s sentenced to stitchFor eternity; unable to afford what she makes,She’s a dirty little secret.Is this understandable? Should i add this at the end: Sweatshop workers in the third world, usually female And mainly teenagers, work up to 18 hours a day, earning as little as 13cents / hour.
