Fast Fashion

Fast, fleeting, faux, fashionable, fake, fashionista

The passion for fashion, lacking in compassion

Workers sucked into a hole of never-ending sewing

Blaring workroom with the deafening buzz of machines 

Frivolity from the consumer, quality just a rumor. 

Landfills as full as a Taylor Swift concert

Underpaid for what is made in the trade they obeyed

Overworked while bosses smirked & lurked 

Cheap fabrics create irritation but last forever 

Polyester, acrylic, nylon & rayon.

Buy for need instead of want

Slow & thoughtful instead of hasty & superficial

Staple pieces that last a lifetime

Employ & enjoy work that doesn't destroy 

Sustainable fashion is the real passion.
