Psalm of Parliamentarian

The state is my Shepard
I shall not want
It makes me lie down in a subsidized house
It leads me into political tranquillity
It restores my faith in a lucrative future
It leads me into paths of BEE and pensions
For its international reputation sake
Even though I walk through the valley of shadow of corruption
I will fear no scorpions
For the state is with me
It’s police and troops comforts me
It preserves for me a bank account, in the presence of devaluation.
It fills my pockets with allowances, my salary overflows
Surely increments and promotion shall follow me, all the days of my life
And I shall dwell in senior staff quarters forever.
Viva
