Conscious consumerism

We care not if our blouse 
was stitched by a person 
who has no roofed house;
we care not if those 
who picked the cotton 
are malnourished
or eat food that's rotten. 
We're told 
we are are not enough, 
and that we'll be happier 
with more stuff. 
and yet we walk around with this
anxiety because our clothes 
are stitched with scars 
screaming out to us, 
that we have gone too far; 
and some like to say 
that it's too hard 
to change a system like this
but I will degrade to nothing 
if I don't do something 
even if that something is simply 
not buying a thing 
that sings scars
into bleeding hands 
and colonized lands 
corrupted by our
capitalistic consumerism.
