40% off your cashmere
40% off last year's line
of dolce + gabbana
men's collection
Calvin Klein's
autumn selection
40% off yesterday's
dreams, 40% off
children's right
to beam smiles
alight with living light.

For one day only...
40% off the price
of medicine
in another country?
don't feel guilty
you pay their
wages.

40% off aswaging,
your entitlement
to throw away
clothes after
a season.

40% off believing
there is any reason
why consumerism
doesn't cause as much
pain as terrorism!

40% off those shoes
dredged from sweat,
beaded death in the eyes
of a child... that's not yours.

40% off having a cause
40% off caring at all
40% off the need
to realize that apathy
won't heal those sores
festering in the soul.

40% off empathy
purchased whole
at discount,
second hand,
a well known brand
of clothes... 40% off.
