The big boys joys
\nAre many
\nThe Nestle’s of this world
\nMARS KRAFT CARGILL
\nCorporatocracy
\nUnfurled<\/p>\n
Africa West Africa
\nIs indeed a melting pot
\nWhere buyers based in Abidjan
\nAre earning such a lot
\nThe tragedy child slavery
\nTrafficking its rife
\nMali,Benin,Burkino faso,Niger
\nSo much strife
\nNigeria and Togo
\nLittle children they
\nare trafficked
\nVia Segoua to the ivory Coast
\nAway
\nto Pogo to the plantations
\nWho pay the traffickers too
\nBring children on their motor bikes
\nYes that is what they do<\/p>\n
Go and visit Nestle cargill ADM
\nGo and visit callebout
\nSee if it does stem
\nFrom where they do the business
\nOfcourse they do deny
\nIts happening and it is rife
\nAnd so so many lie<\/p>\n
The hopelessness that children feel
\nSlaves to the regime
\nThey work with dangerous pesticides
\nAs part of a team
\nMachetes at the ready
\nHeavy sacks of beans
\nIt is no place for children
\nWho havent reached their teens<\/p>\n
Many we have seen there are 10 – 12 years old
\nMany get no pay at all they are bought
\nAnd sold
\nSlavery its commonplace despite the protocol
\nDespite investigations and the work
\nOf interpol<\/p>\n
Much of the suffering happens
\nThe corporates know the score
\nThey close their eyes to whats happening
\nSo far outside the law
\nResigned to see it happening
\nThough preferring to look away
\nIts all about big profit
\nAnd raising it each day<\/p>\n
For the children are inconsolable
\nThe work they do is hard
\nThe sun is hot when you have got
\nNo protection and no guard
\nAgainst the inauspicious time
\nSpent out in the heat
\nWith all the intimidation
\nAnd terror at your feet<\/p>\n
Anybody reporting on this evil
\nHas to be
\nReally very couraegous
\nFor what they will do to thee
\nIts the money they are raking in
\nNo wages none at all
\nWith margins rising all the time
\nThey just make their own rule<\/p>\n
Their imprudence is sensational
\nIts recklessness to see
\nTiny children in the bush
\nSlaving perilously
\nSuffering its ill conceived
\nIts lemming like to me
\nSomebody elses children
\nKidnapped mercilessly<\/p>\n
The wonderment of childhood
\nLost in this hot hell
\nThey really are notorious
\nDiscredited as well
\nThe corporates earning big bucks
\nOn the back of children who
\nAre stolen from their parents
\nAs slaves thats what they do<\/p>\n
And buying from these corporates
\nThese rat faced millionaires
\nWho really have no dignity
\nAnd though they recite prayers
\nThey are such perpetrators
\nWith salaries so high
\nDemeaning every protocol
\nWith the closing of their eye<\/p>\n
They imagine their distinction
\nTheir lineage so fine
\nAncient houses dynasties
\nOf people down the line
\nRolling over millions
\nBut caring little for
\nChildren on the front line
\nThat never knew the score<\/p>\n
Misanthropy is commonplace
\nThe worst intentions here
\nA malignancy of character
\nStoked up with such fear
\nChild abuse its out there
\nVictimization too
\nBaleful maligning and vicious
\nAnd all of this is true<\/p>\n
And the so called retail outlets
\nThe supermarkets here
\nAre flogging all this chocolate
\nAt prices that are dear
\nUsing and abusing slaves
\nWho get no pay
\nThey suffer all these children
\nWho are trapped there night and day<\/p>\n
Who now are the scoundrels?
\nThe makers tell me who
\nThe growers earning little
\nOr the corporate world who do
\nThe dirty on so many
\nThe Ivory Coast and more
\nOther families children
\nAnd its all outside the law<\/p>\n
The stony hearted buyers
\nCallous through and through
\nThey wont admit its happening
\nOn their watch its not true
\nSleepwalking in the jungle
\nJust one of the boys
\nA big glass of black label
\nAnd a sharing of the joys<\/p>\n
For me its dereliction
\nOf duty thats for sure
\nThey are placed to know whats happening
\nHow can they ignore
\nWhat is the bloody obvious
\nThe lack of alacrity
\nThe incompetance and bungling
\nTo be an absentee<\/p>\n
If its from Africa from the countries i have listed
\nTry another route but organic booja booja plamil 100 per cent Vegan equal exchange .
\npay a bit more
\nFor less and protect the children of africa<\/p>\n
We all like a piece of chocolate dont we but lets be resolute
\nLets be passionate lets be compassionate for other peoples children
\nTrafficked away to these plantations to slave in the hot sun
\nBe aware and truly care for those manufacturers that are out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
