If the girl who made your skirt’s not paid
you cannot say it’s beautiful
if the pay is less than living wage
you cannot say it’s beautiful
if the coloured dyes now lie in rivers
poisoned fish, polluted waters
if there’s no sick pay, no toilet breaks
if the factories are in decay
no matter what your mirror says
or how stylish you might look today
you cannot claim it’s beautiful
