Jharkand and Bihar and dhibra or mica waste

grotesque amounts of suffering

for children of the poor

who cannot afford to go to school

and tragically whats  more

go down the mines

the mica mines

tunnelling to find

the  mineral called mica

that really blows my mind

these soft mineral flakes are used

in cosmetics

nobody tells the users

ladies who

love their  glittery eye makeup

and use it  and why not

its alluring character

it is  true

and glitter Western q children

like to make believe

whilst  poorer Eastern children tragically

crawling underground

to earn  a pittance

and hope to god

the mica flakes they see

Its against  the law

to mine and children

do it anyway

families are poor

they have to try  and supplement

the family  purse

and deaths and sickness

people just ignore

mica is used in car paint

the  Prius Silver   2008

pine mica was the  colour

exclusive so I hear

a hybrid

but in reality no saint.
