Twentysomething
First lot of cigarettes you’ve ever bought,
Devoured one after another ,
you hiss to yourself,
‘How easy can my principles be defeated’.
Walking out of the cinema with a wrenching heart,
You hammer your head and question how one is able to turn a blind eye on
third world countries,sweatshops, Africa, homelessness,
Then you walk in Starbucks and grab a cup of ‘Fair-trade’ coffee.
Principle is indeed a luxury.
To feel is to pay.
