My New Shoes Might Test Positive for Traces of Blood

 

Brand-name boat shoes glued together in gloom

Canvas and rubber and toxicity from Shanghai

Bloody little hands and decaying lungs:

We are all guilty of slavery

 

Do the workers dream of luxurious yachts

Or even a day off for a picnic at the pond

Bloody little hands and decaying lungs:

We are all guilty of slavery

 

Bloody little hands and decaying lungs:

We are all guilty of slavery
