Capitalism
My knees tremble at the threat
of a consumer collapse.
I chuckle as the president fiddles
while the planet burns.
I won’t go easy.
I promise messy
when I fall.
Rose Willow lives and writes near the Salish Sea on the west coast of Canada. Her poetry has appeared in several anthologies and literary magazines including, Ascent Aspirations, Portal, Spring, SoftCartel, The Society, and Transitions.
