Seedy
The seeds of human trafficking
Are planted by purchases of consumers
Distributed by the winds of greed
Blown in the direction of capitalism
For the whole world to see
In its most cherished form
That of an NFL NBA MLB “free” agent
Signing a multimillion dollar contract
Paid for by the American consumer
Of Doritos Budweiser and Pepsi
Or overly preserved salty snacks
Fermented yeast and hop water
And caramelized sugary water
Led by coaches and bean counters
Where a tribal board of CEOs get to
“Own” “trade” and “free” their humans
The acceptable version of human trafficking
Broadcast live on any given network
Varied by season and salaries as to
How much revenue can they generate
By manipulating a ball on a field
To the cheers and jeers of the crowd
