We want green green green green
"Greenwashing", Tryö (2012)
Green green-washing
We want to fly
We want Airbuses and diesel
Tangerine at all times
We want great flights
We want high-tech at home
New technologies
We want to apologise
To relieve our minds…
The least we can say is that over the last two years, they've been using every available means to knock us as hard as possible, all that in the name of the green code1 and coat2. Thrashing black sheep; slagging off and penalising raw youngsters and smart old dogs alike. Either way, it's six of one and half a dozen of the other; Tweedledum and Tweedledumber; glass half full or half empty depending how you drink.
Everything is done to drive us nuts, frighten, upset, or irate us, especially those taken off-guard who had to choose between sacrificing either their financial assets or their lifeblood on the verdigris altar of the Green Pass. The pill is certainly hard to swallow and the green wine does not help at all. Despite their claims of having green fingers, the hands of the green GMO supremacists are actually covered in blood. Together, they're working towards nipping all the peas in the can before getting all pureed by the Red Giant (too bad for the colour-blind who don't get it). Hence the thick-as-pea-soup fog. A reminder of one infamous scene in the Exorcist.
It really is time to go green. In the middle of hell and beyond.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone!
P.S.: My apologies for losing much of the original puns, idiomatic expressions and cultural references in translation. Be grateful though: it could have been much worse if Google Translate had its say. However flawed humans may be, AI can never replace them.
