Thousands of pound notes
for a designer bag
Packed with such cruelty
aimed at some hag
artless and vulgar
in reality
but advertised discreetly
which is why we see
the market widen
society clamours to buy it
for so chic it be
leather the skin from perhaps
an old cow
shipped in from India
who would allow
such a graceful old soul
to be just torn to bits
the ugly evil
it gives me the shits
a holy creature
transported away
to where leathers treated
where they can flay
the life force
where chemical treatments
are done
and where poor men and women
slave under the sun
in chemical baths
cancer is rife
it gets into rivers
causing much strife
for innocent children
bag buyers won’t know
for them its designers
and investment you know!
