NAKEDNESS

Truth is naked.........! The bitter truths are clearly concealed by man! you have uncovered the nakedness of a capitalist class who like bed bugs suck the sweat and blood of the working class and grow faster and fatter while those poor workers are left emaciated and starved! Through the metaphor of clothes, i have brought to surface the cruel story of exploitation that has been going on through generation!

NAKEDNESS

The truth is naked

The moon is naked

The animals are naked,

We were born naked

Adam and Eve were naked

Our father and mother were naked

and all in paradise.

So was the creation 

because,

the truth was always naked;

It is naked and it will always be naked.

As years went by,

Humans invented dress,

learned thus hide the truth.

The capitalists made an industry,

calculated the profits;

Advertised how good it was

to cover the naked truth.

They created slaves;

made use of the poor workers

in the third world countries

to create dresses of all kinds and fashions.

They saved the money in the banks

all over the world.

Alas! oneday the capitalist

suffered a heart attack and fell.

The banks profited from his money;

The miserable dress makers

In the factories remained poor

and died in the misery.

The truth is naked

Truth was naked

Truth will always be naked.
