the carpet factory,
the shoes
i heard a story today
about a little boy
one of many who was enslaved
by his country
in child labor
in this case
he was working
for a carpet factory
he managed to escape
he told his story
to the world
he was a hero at ten
put the people from the factory
held a grudge
and today i heard
that the little boy
was shot and killed
on the street
he was twelve
and eugene complains to me
when i buy shoes
that are made in china
now i have to think
did somebody
have to die for these
will somebody have to die
for these
