IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITODAY THE SQUARE NAMED AFTER THE LEADER
HAS BEEN RENAMED
THE SQUARE HAS NOW BEEN RENAMED
IN HONOUR OF THE LEADER
FOR THE LEADER FREED US FROM THE TYRANNY OF THE LEADER
THE SIGNS BEARING THE LEADER'S NAME WILL BE BORNE AWAY
AND REPLACED WITH THE SIGNS BEARING THE LEADER'S NAME
WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT ONE OF THE SIGNS WILL APPEAR
IN THE OLD MILITARY NAVAL AND HISTORY MUSEUM
A BUILDING ERECTED IN HONOUR OF A LEADER
NO-ONE REMEMBERS TODAY
