Nike Shoes and Veal

What reason do you have
To look for men to arrest -
Over half of them are black -
While sporting your Nike shoes?

What reason do you have
To spend your hard-earned time
Making sure gays don't wed
Then eat a meal of veal?

What reason do you have
To protest anti-war demonstrations?
To oppose support the troops rallies?
With your Nike shoes and veal?

You'd imprison a boy
Who stole some Nike shoes
(Refused to fund cruelty,
Enslavement of young kids)

It's not just Nike shoes and veal, mind you.
Adidas, Reebok, Gap, to name a few.
McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chiken too.
Hundreds more. What is this world coming to?
