Translated…</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Try to, Release Those Knots of Gloom, Tied Up on the Insides</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>So They Don’t, Ferment, and Become that Huge Rubber Ball</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8220;Please ring them ALL up!&#8221;  Not my photo&#8230;<img src="https://qflf.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/materialism.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Giving Someone the Opportunities, to Use it as a Ball and Bounce Up &amp; Down</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>I Don’t Agree with the Moon, Being So Full</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>With the Masses on Earth, Hooraying for Its Full-Figure, But Worrying on</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>If it’d Become, Too Full of Hot-Air, and Burst, How would We, Gather it Back Up Again</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Working Hard, to Twist the Self, Tightened into a Bow</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>That Way, Others Will See You Clearly</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">this too!  Not my picture&#8230;<img src="https://www.liberoaankoop.nl/blog/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/Huis-kopen.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>And Even If the Unknown Arrows Came, They Would be, Easier to Dodge</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>As the Words Came Out, It’d Needed to Pop Like that Opening of a Champagne Bottle</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>Otherwise, Even as the Words Sounded Pretty</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>It Still Couldn’t Move the Masses, Because it’s only, Hot Air</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>Being Brave and Being Rich, is what’s Trending Now</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>We’re All, Used to Adding More Zeroes after the Digits These Days</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>More so, than the Fates of Those Downtrodden</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">ooh, and, are these all 24-carat collectibles???  Give them all to me N-O-W!!!<img src="https://www.atsbullion.com/uploads/redactor/Gold%20Bullion_02_07_2015.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">So, this, just shows, how we embellish our own lives, because we wanted to look “presentable” to the outside world, and, while seeking out those materialistic definitions of our selves, we’d lost sight, of what truly matters, WHO we are, inside!</p>
