War - Ww2 - Japanese Industry Used Pows As Slave Labour Poem by Paul Warren

The Japanese heavy industry took a battering
During the Second World War whilst they were fighting
So Japanese companies like Toyota went to the army
And requested Allied POWs to work in their factories

Slave labour was what occurred for these men
When these industries paid the army for them then
The men were badly treated, starved and many died
With 37% of them not seeing freedom whilst the Japanese lied

Because when compared with the Nazis Allied POWs died at 2%
The Japanese companies hid behind the war looking for victory sent
Now Toyota looks like a clean and well run company
But they have this inhuman incident in their past history.
