A broke country is spending state funds on choral rallies in pursuit of a cagey agenda. We don’t understand the message of the song. The words, the stanzas and tune are unknown. But we must sing. If we don’t sing, we are called the devil’s children. Because of this, the strange song is causing unnecessary hostility. The choir masters will not listen to legitimate questions.
