Capitalism, a Sonnet by Helen Moore‏

chemical Macaque             glaxosmithkline
roche       trepanned-brain Baboon

max factor eyes burning Cat       l’oreal
Rabbit     (the devil wears perfume)

o, dear          easyjet         ryanair
melting Reindeer, Polar Bear

but a bargain for mcdonalds –
Earth’s rainforests         slashed

as Asians sweat for adidas
nike         the evil empire’s goddess

o, bless all ecocidal patriarchs – so smart
in suits                    armani uniforms

a cocktail of intellect and greed
hellish stuff         they puppet us to need
