Girl on her way to the weaving factory
By Job Degenaar - the Netherlands


It’s silently accepted
that some children
will never be children

working through ages
used, abused
like animals

the world won’t stop turning
when in the early morning
a little girl walks to a factory

for colourful weaving
the web of her poor life
in which she can’t escape

while we from the sunny side
of the earth blindly turn our back
to shady places like hers
