Would someone mind reading my poem?
It is about child slavery in the chocolate industry in Africa.

Dark Chocolate

Wee hands thrust into drudgery
Down the back end road from discovery
What was wages for the homeland
A guile pawned by the whip hand
Marked callous cash till deep-sixed
Whiteness by tender scars eclipsed
Gnawed piecemeal by slumbering pesticides
Infant Sisyphus with cacao stones mechanized
No wisps of enlightenment for Exodus
Ivory dome veils the smoke as nebulous
Mortal creatures in the deathless industry
Fed by putrid ambrosia in rapacity
All for Dark Chocolate
