Green
Tell me the financial value of a life. Tell me the exact cost benefit ratio of the smile of a child, How a good night's sleep somewhere safe and warm affects a balance sheet.
Reduce the world into a single figure. Crush all its nuance and complexity like olives Until green drips out. Bury the dried bricks of lives that were once lived. Is it fun to count money in a cemetery?
