MAN OF GIMMICK
You are such a vile creature
Simply by your glance, I have observed
You are a man of gimmick
Lacking intent, yet behaving pretentiously
Yes, you are a gimmick
You precisely know how to manipulate it
You continue to go round and round
We never know where the spiral will stop
You are in no way sincere, that gimmick man!
No one is capable of being persuaded
We are becoming increasingly cognizant of your gimmick
You are astride with each untruth you utter
You are absolutely nothing but an imbecile, perform a pantomime
Man of gimmick
Creating interest and intrigue
Not joking, but a truly peculiar individual
Merely intended to redeem a lackluster campaign
That is completely absurd!
Then, he is pretentious
Packed with ridiculousness
MAN OF ‘OMON-OMON’
Who but you, I know; bragging and boasting; full of yourself; like shallow brooks babble loudest?
Man of ‘omon-omon’; a man of as if; it’s a fakest man who brags about being real coz he is insecure and lacking; bragging only means he is not used to having it; only arrogance requires as if languages; and he who is humble always confident and wise
Hi there, man of ‘omon-omon’, man of as if, man of braggart; who but you; when you continually brag, it becomes painfully obvious to all of us what you are so insanely insecure about; and quite frankly, it is very unattractive, that’s all we see
Hi man of ‘omon-omon’, man of as if, man of braggart; listen to the universe! the older you get, the more quiet you become; the more you realize how much nonsense you have wasted time on; the more magnificent you become by thinking of yourself less; and know the process of developing doesn’t have to be loud; it’s clear the accomplishment if you rather take things elegantly until people find out; it’s the essence of being authentic and loving yourself for being you
MAN OF MONEY
And this is what you say: “money in, money out; without a doubt a game of numbers; money on my mind; my mind is on my money; I possess them; I experience ups and downs when there aren’t any; every valuable item I can purchase; occasionally having ‘honey’; having sufficient funds to eat and not beg for a living; avoiding homelessness; substituting money for law and order; speaking louder to replace love and truth”
And I inquire, then, what are you but a materialistic individual and a man of money; earn money and take delight in it; adore money and commit crimes for it; God will create a distance between you and him; your world tour will be lonely; money is merely a means to an end; while it may inspire reverence and benevolence, it cannot motivate one to be forthright
Listen, listen oh man of money! angel voices reverberate throughout the universe; your existence on earth is not eternal, but rather “einmalig” and “turny;” humanity and affection are your foremost burdens; seek the truth and attain joy throughout your journey through the universe
Money should not be treated as everything
Neglecting the veracity of material affairs will result in our oversight
Money should not be the only motivation for doing anything
We might also lack the affection of others, which would render us amusing
It cannot make us sleep but to weep
Or we are full of stupidity
Knowing the truth but not admitting it
Seeing evidence but not still believing
