To buy or not to buy?


To buy or not to buy?
While idling some time
In Kmart thinking it
Would be nice to wear
Something new to cheer me up
On this wintry windy day
I went up to check on
Some long sleeves T-shirts
The prices were down
As the ads on TV proclaim
When I read the label
Made in Bangladesh
My heart turned cold
For the privilege of a fiver
More than eleven hundred people
Have died an ignominious death!
The price had become too high
I simply walked away.
L. Bailliet
