Sweet Chocolate

sweet chocolate
so sweet you say 
when you just eat 
those sweet chocolate

for sure you enjoyed them
yes they really taste
so fantastic

yet down there in the third 
world 

a young child is left 
to suffer in a cocoa farm

teenager are fund 
working so hard
carrying heavy cocoa bags
on top of their heads 
hours after hours 
noon after noon 
night after nights 
In this big farm 

just for you 
to enjoy always 
sweet chocolate 

is so sad so many 
of those kids work
lesser than the cost 
of your
sweet chocolate
