Green, White & Green

Here you unearth the “beast” leaders They actually are the best Best leaders anyone can possibly imagine Leading their subjects without force No force nor coercion do they employ They lay claims on better modus Like washing our brains white White; and painting it Green Making us wise in our own eyes Moreover uniquely foolish in theirs They made us believe Believe, that we are helpless Soon enough, they offer to help And we saw it coming Earnest help!? They rebrand us Repackage us like mere toys Feed us with sincere lies Conjured in their rotund beer bellies Brews bought by our very sweat and tears But only time will tell If “Green and White” should be the colour of my brain Only just time
