In Kenya the women
\nA shelling the cashews
\nSuffer like crazy
\nBurning that be
\nComing from acid
\nAnacardic acid
\nDisfiguring hands
\nSo painfully<\/p>\n
At \u00a32 per day
\nIt really is painful
\nAnd these days
\nThese cashews are used
\nQuite a bit
\nIn plant milks in chocolate
\nInside vegan products
\nIt upsets me greatly
\nHow all this does sit<\/p>\n
In the green revolution
\nNot wanting cruelty
\nThese African women
\nGet injured each day
\nIt isn\u2019t fair
\nWe should be more aware
\nAnimals matter
\nKenyan women do too
\n500,000 Workers it\u2019s true<\/p>\n
It very corrosive
\nThe plant in the same
\nFamily as sumac
\nAnd poison Ivy
\nBy name
\nThey need more protection
\nFor now severe pain
\nIt\u2019s really unfair
\nI think it\u2019s insane<\/p>\n
To expect these sweet women
\nTo suffer so much
\nJust lousy gloves
\nPeople are out of touch
\nAs vegans all life is sacred and we
\nMust think about ladies as well
\nConstantly .<\/p>\n
shelling these nuts
\nIf it causes them pain
\nThen as vegans we must
\nHelp them refrain
\nIn Gerbana that\u2019s Burkino Faso
\nI know
\nMy friends Equal Exchange
\nTheir strong morals flow<\/p>\n
Allows use of cashew oil
\nThat protects them
\nThey be
\nAlso using maize flour and lemon juice
\nThey
\nFind that their hands Feel much better
\nEach day<\/p>\n
Think about the workers
\nWomen who try
\nTo work for a pittance.and then go home and cry
\nCry when alone
\nIt\u2019s really unfair
\nOur hands are important
\nWhich is why we must share
\nknowledge and love
\nWith everyone we know <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
