The sweat shop: A poem 

When it’s daylight 

The factory comes alive 

Sweaty palms 

in toil’s arms 

Prosaic is the stare 

glued to the ware 

As if the garment 

was the answer to torment 

The climb uphill 

is the little bills 

She stitches her dreads 

with needles and threads 

Dare to dream 

if hope was a stream 

When she goes to bed 

after the children are fed

I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
