Mrs Desai

Oh, Mr Manager,

You were negative, and

Refused to concede

To our pickets pleading

For our fair salt.

If you exploit us because of our colour

We will not process

Any colour films.

 

Oh, Mr Manager,

You got too comfortable, and

Did not stop to notice that

The starved kittens who came for scraps

At your table

Were lions, ready to eat

Your head if you refused

Them a full meal.
