Outside ASDA -Walmart

 

I was outside Asda -Walmart,

Talking to a not-for-profit prophet

She talked tax evasion and Walmart,

She talked child labour and Walmart,

She talked Plastic packaging in tonnes - Walmart,

She talked high costs and low quality – Walmart.

I was outside Asda -Walmart, talking to a retail prophet,

She talked poverty wages Walmart,

She talked no unions allowed Walmart,

She talked Sexual harassment and Walmart,

She talked disability discrimination and Walmart.

I was outside Asda -Walmart, talking to a justice for all prophet,

She talked about the solution of a retail revolution,

She talked about consumer power measured by the shopping hour,

She talked about ordinary folk - doing extrodinary things

 Flexing their financial might in an environmentally clean fight,

And using their pounds to prove a point.

She said the time had come,

For people to use their cash

To buy ethics, justice and morality,

Now I’m not outside Asda-Walmart,

 

 I’m walking to the Co-op,

And there I’m going to shop and shop,

Hoping at Asda-Walmart, the pennies will start to drop.
