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
