1. Mg:

   I'm a human and I placed my trust! Yet all I receive from you is bloody, money lust! Maybe you think you creeped and cheated, Yet, you just lost the one who supported. I maybe agonising for trusting you! Trust me, I shall see more gruesome pain in you. Money is a bitch which you're holding now! But, I have enjoyed it so much, you'd should take bow! Not one day, it takes a moment to for me to surpass you! I'd enjoy it, while I see you in the streets of blue!

5. Google Translate:

   In the smoke haze, the most abundant particles are around onemicrometre in size, but these particles do not change the colour of the light we see, there are also smaller particles, around 0.05 micrometres or less, that dont make up a lot of the haze but are still somewhat more abundant during a haze period [than a normal non-haze period]... but this is enough to give an extra tendency to scatter red light more in the forward and backward directions than blue light - and that is why would you see more red than blue.
