Exploitation
Oldham,
Rotherham and Telford, all stained
With
children’s tears, as if just these places
Are marked,
are being marked, by anguished faces
Distressed
through exploitation unrestrained;
Only to be
exploited once again
As it suits
politicians to sound
Like they
are standing on moral high ground.
Apologies
will be issued and then
Comes
obfuscation by legislation.
Law can’t
mitigate what’s tacitly assumed,
That
consumers determine what’s consumed;
Economics
regulate relations.
Rolling
headlines, interviews by the score,
Until
victims are invisible once more.
D. A.
