joggers pound the pavements
Easter Monday they
hope to work the chocolate off
eaten yesterday
the cacao came from Africa
slave children working overtime
kidnapped so they say
in Mali and Burkino Faso
every single day
machetes heavy bundles
its what the children do
the jogger sports her adidas
the weight she hopes to lose
sinews taut and exhausted
if the Africans could choose
they wouldnt work no more
back to their homes
and never slave again
that I am sure
the great big corporations
are profitting a deal
for slavery is a menace
yes Slavery is REAL
