  Translation:
  
  Please don't misunderstand me
  
  The dark suits
  in a hurry
  the tailor's suit
  is only valid under a blue silk scarf
  please don't misunderstand me
  the city needs all this
  the municipality
  the region
  the economy
  the future
  peace
  accessibility
  prosperity
  integration
  international understanding
  progress
  sustainability
  integration
  plus a lunch bowl
  a broccoli smoothie
  and still water
  please do not misunderstand me
  all this is needed
  organic farming
  equal opportunities
  democracy
  the work-life balance
  prevention
  creativity
  not to forget
  Nordic walking
  spinning
  paragliding
  freediving
  please do not misunderstand me now

    They both sound good to the ear, minus a bit of understanding in one language. But this is an exciting challenge. Vielen dank 🙏🏻

  This has a wonderfully dry, sarcastic bite, piling up every fashionable social virtue until the language itself becomes absurd. The repeated “bitte missverstehen Sie mich nicht” is damn effective—it sounds polite on the surface while quietly shredding the whole performance underneath.

    Dear Thomas, thank you for your friendly comment - and that you had a look at a poem in a foreign language. You realise that I'm German, don't you
