Fair Trade

She put her all into it, whatever it was at the time
upon your request, she put her heart into the motions
of her fingers, to create a thing of beauty through the pain.

And you want to give her mere pennies for her commodities,
making them by hand makes them priceless, far above an even exchange
she lives in the same world but another country.

You've admired her creations from afar, now you stand up close
and personal,can touch her and the words coming from your mouth
are an insult you should feel shame for trying to rob her blind.
