The presidential speech


My people , my fellows I am so happy, to speak to you In this day, when I have a lot to say A day I was waiting, actually a good day. To rule the country, not so easy Not like a family, let say of five people But very tussle task, leading the millions Good or bad, different in perspectives Indeed something huge, I mean the frame work. I am not castigating you, really not But making you aware, mine also yours As yours also mine, in the same nation of us. You do tell me, see and see, A lot of resources, but poor living standards In fact poor living standards, but a lot of resources? What resources?, can you eat uncooked wheat?. Many mines, many resources How are they many?, can you prove? Just come, freely come Say to me, that I hear That you are capable, really capable Of running the mine, with the profit to the rest I will give, why not to give. We are exploited, that is obvious But no way out, hope you know Ten is above two, something better than nothing. You erect your ears, to the gas found in the south Yes a resource, but uncooked wheat If you want, take and eat To see the repercussion, don’t cry to me. Listen my people, perceive correctly We are negotiating, with those foreigners To make changes, that we earn more From our natural treasures, which God gifted us. In the coming year, not good changing the tyres Better repairing them, to make the journey continue Are you so sure, that the new will survive? While not experienced, how then. But if sure, just change the tyres To make a progress, in this long journey I will not listen, when you cry Your vote, your life. Thanks for listening, go and work hard.
