Slavery is unjustified,
Something that I cannot condone
Even though I have fantasized,
It’s something I could never own

Abduction, rape and torture
Sex slaves are the most common
Loss of freedom, self and more
All while they’re still children...

Slave labor is the cheapest
So that will also thrive
Even if it’s not the best
And they’re barely kept alive

Slaves are not the best lovers,
When they need to be coerced
Nor are they the best laborers
Only working when they’re forced

It’s the unadvertised price
That keeps our imports cheap
They’ve been dehumanised
In the name of profits reaped

They work to stay alive
It’s no good to be pleading
There is no “nine to five”
And the alternative’s a beating
