Newspeak(s)

It is difficult to get the news from poems yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there. --- William Carlos Williams

Modern Day Slavery


Alabama brings back slavery for Latinos


http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/oct/12/alabama-slavery-latino-immigrants


Water shut off
Children chased from schools
Fields of cotton lie unpicked
Attempts to flee Alabama failed


Now jailed on immigration charges
Sent as a prisoner to pick your cotton
Modern day slavery
