Let us discuss it,

I can think very supply --


about the money.


We bespreken het,Besprechen wir das,
ik kan heel soepel denken --ich kann sehr biegsam denken --
als het om geld gaat.wenn es um Geld geht.

Zywa Honorary money

All interest unpredictably
distorts what I do
I have learned not to pay attention
It's just shadows

and the laws, certificates and
my prudence protect me
Honorary money and ingratitude
serve me right

It is not difficult
to believe in it
as long as the money rolls

from one hand in the other
like a snowball
getting bigger
from the little pushes I give

knowing that it will melt
as soon as it comes to stop
and then ultimately will
leave nothing usable

except to the bank.

Zywa Moneyland

Believers give God
a portion of His abundance
not as a sacrifice, but as a person

who helps neighbours and fellow villagers
spares pack animals and allows butterflies
to flutter and who is not only sweet

to stuffed animals
but builds fountains
to water the noble horses

Unbelievers decide for themselves
whether they sell their yield
what they eat and what they share

God and greedy people too
choose themselves who benefits
what the henchmen get

for taking, and the front men
for hiding the abundance
in the heavenly clouds of Moneyland

People who don't have

money, will just have to pay --


with their doom and gloom.
