The Unusual Speech
The statesman ascended the podium and though
Heckled, he bravely prepared and delivered
Everything in his mind in a foreign nation
“Usually I thank whoever hosts me anywhere
Not a lie I ever told; I have enjoyed all my desires
Unless you reject, when you come to my home I’ll revenge
Suffering with transport is impossible in the nation I lead
Under me I will build everywhere bus park for airplanes
And I have a program for a whole one year
Listen to me carefully;
Sincerely I will take fire everywhere
People’s homes I will take fire, streets, and hotels
Everyone will be happy when fire burns all places
Even industries will have fire burning
Come, you will see with your eyes,
Heaven on earth in my country”
