My Favorite Dictators: Part 1

Oh Kim. To quote a song I once read, but have not heard:

Mt. Paektu reaches across
To shape our beautiful land.
Cheers resound all over the land,
Hailing our dear General.
He's the leader of the people,
Carrying forward the Sun's cause.
Long live, long live, General Kim Jong Il.

All blossoms on this earth
Tell of his love, broad and warm.
Blue East and West Seas sing
His exploits in their song.
He is the artist of great joy,
Glorifying the garden of Juche.
Long live, long live, General Kim Jong Il.

Socialist cause he defends
With iron will and courage.
He raises national honour
Far and wide throughout the world.
He is the champion of justice,
Standing for independence.
Long live, long live, General Kim Jong Il.

I like to pretend that it goes to the tune of "Green Acres."

Enjoy.

(I have a feeling that my slipshod Korean spelling has made him out to be Kim Jong Eel or Dim Sum Squeal... er something.)
