Do you care

 

Do you care

  what you wear

 was made where.

 

If those hands

 were paid fair

for what you wear

or you just don’t dare

give up the million stares

 the mirror shares.

 

That skirt you needed

was stitched and tailored

by a faceless girl

in a foreign land.

 

She pains day and night

to get paid a dime

by a million man

with a spray paint tan.

 

With his share in hand

And a magic wand

He will claim

observing all the rules

 

In a country poor

where the hungry spur

the rules are the least

the dime is the must.

 

Your freedom’s there

to find out where

the garb you wear was made

for stares.
