Castles And Mud Huts
Windswept jackets warm
desperate flocking workers swarm
nylon threads and wounds
hotter than the desert dunes
humanity selling out, it's cheap
shameful hidden owners reap
beautifully imported sewing patched
another third world company hatched
satin finish smooth as silk
machine washable money milk
water repellent beguiling thieves
worker bees and rolled up sleeves
lined pockets, building stitched
pooled up boots hikers hitched
micro fiber, eventual garment out of style
bosses lips, loudness all the while
fabric sub-culture enclosed, no fans
the necessity of money and hot weathered hands
panel stacks machine made human fast
thinly worn priority relations, quality last
