The Scrap Boys i mean are not refined
they scrape the copper from the steelthey pick the plastic off the ground
they pick the shards out of their heel.
they burn and whack the parts apart
they haul the heavy and the light
they do not give a fart for art
they do not want to pick a fight
they sell to those who want to buy
they buy from those who need to sell
the scrap boys i mean are not refined
they save the mountains in their hell.

see below if you don't know the boys i mean are not refined poem.
the link above is to a uganda minister. i don't know him and don't know whether he's legit. but my guess is he's got to be more legit than the other people making money off these scrap boys pictures.
