Pleasure Crime Exploitations Without Conscience Poem by Terence George Craddock

a vice weakness is pleasure without conscience
inflicting pain poverty upon people trapped
beneath a living wage trapped below starvation
poverty line exploiting every pound of flesh
every drop of blood from sweat shop workers
from victim destitute landless poor peasants
indebted labourers salary slaves legal slaves
owned debt worked into retirement early graves

body owned soul owned flesh owned workers
body worked into death starvation wage wasted
flesh sex workers bought sold with lust indifference
a drug any drug cocaine heroin meth sold only once
sex flesh drug is countless times sold until deceased
sex flesh worker third world innocent childhood stolen

clean skin straight strong limbs slave bondage desecrated
