 We don't need no ostentatious parties; bombastic mugs of wine guzzling down our throats; as beats of the spuriously titillating disco discordantly inundated the heavenly stillness of the night, 

 
We don't need no superfluous palaces; fathomless rooms of pretentious aristocracy frigidly awaiting to envelop us insidiously in their empty swirl, 
 
We don't need no robotic aircrafts; unfathomably gigantic wings of steel to transport us at thunderously lightening speeds; to the destinations of our choice, 
 
We don't need no sleazily gaudy attires; opulent cisterns of voluptuous silk; artificially enshrouding our poignantly naked skins, 
 
As our palms which had perpetually entwined with each other; unflinching confronting the most acerbic of impediments united together; bonding our destinies
forever with the religion of humanity; were irrefutably our greatest richness.
 
(1) 
 
We don't need no cheaply abominable slang; astounding replications of how the high society ate; spoke and slept, 
 
We don't need no Oriental music; brilliantly incredulous sound systems blaring 
in pompously rhythmic cadence, 
 
We don't need no mountains of scintillating glass; the most exquisite fraternity of mirror to incessantly admire our nimble reflections, 
 
We don't need no sizzled steak; incongruously butchering the poor animal and then ironically placing it on plates of glittering gold, 
 
As our souls which had perpetually coalesced with each other; imparting us the unassailable ardor to not only exist in this birth; but to philanthropically serve
the entire planet and gallop for an infinite more births yet to come; were 
irrefutably our greatest richness.
 
(2) 
 
We don't need no aristocratic sheepskins; the most ravishingly embellished wool on the planet; to safeguard us against acrimonious cold, 
 
We don't need no flatulent airconditioners; to garishly placate our overwhelmingly sweltering senses, 
 
We don't need no scintillating cars; the ergonomically plush upholstery 
pampering us worthlessly as the ultimate kings, 
 
We don't need no dungeons of unfathomably regale wealth; a torrential cascade of shimmering pearl and silver; not even letting us gasp the slightest, 
 
As our breaths which had perpetually bonded with each other; were our sole elixir to magnificently surge ahead in vibrant life and achieve the pinnacle of astronomically humanitarian success; were irrefutably our greatest richness.
 
(3) 
 
We don't need no skeleton keys; ingeniously masterminded computers to cunningly manipulate the movements of the entire Universe, 
 
We don't need no Supreme chairs of pure velvet; ardently awaiting to crown us the unparalleled corporate tycoons of the distraught year, 
 
We don't need no fabulously designed sunglasses; cowardly camouflaging our radiant eyes even from the tiniest beam of optimistic light, 
 
We don't need no sardonically inflated cigar smoke; the meaningless clapping of people who vindictively plotted behind our backs, 
 
As our hearts which had perpetually blended with each other; unconquerably beating as a single spirit and passionately alive; were irrefutably our greatest richness.
