State of the Nation 2005

I listened to our leader’s State of the Nation
Speech and couldn’t understand it
I read a critic’s review that
Said the
Citizens of
‘Manenburg, Harrismith, Diepsloot, Hanover Park
Phomolong and Crossroads’* couldn’t
Understand the speech either
And although I know none of these
Places
I felt empowered knowing none of us knew:

And that our President’s secret was safe.
