Corporations claim to be green
bent as they are on profitability
Contrived, the marketing schemes
colour added to mask the perils
No amount of dye can alter
the truth for our world faces
the midnight hour, time
for preservation waning.

Awesome! The “schemes” are bringing darkness in a sense. Hopefully the light can return.

Nestle corporation is one of most corrupt corporations of the world. I love nature and hate to see greedy corporations pretending to be “green” just for the popularity and profits.
