Steal another life
To make a rich man richer
Work them to the bone
Break a soul in two
To increase the bank balance
Of a soulless man
Pay for her body
But never see the human
Before your blind eyes
Selfish lust consumes
Without a thought for the girl
Whom you will discard
Fields full of plant life
Debt-bondage takes the rewards
Leaving only dust
In the dirt and muck
A purposeless existence
Making cheap products
The latest fashion
Made by invisible slaves
All for vanity
Blissful ignorance
With every dollar you spend
Keeping them enslaved
Modern slavery
Stems from everyday choices
You hold the power
