POVERTY

shoes $6


t shirt $2
jeans $20
jumper $15
socks negligible
when I went out in public today
I masked my nakedness
with $43 worth of attire
(not including
my $150 spectacles)
all purchased brand new
out of poverty
and lack of conscience
all made in some sweatshop
in some developing country

what would brand name adorning
yuppie wannabes think of me?

for all I care
