Thunder rumbles
The hypocrite grumbles and trembles
The song of the gods tingles the deaf ears.
Helter-skelter they run
Threatening to shoot our heads
For a little fragment of our song
Swims through their auditory canal
To rumble them in the heart
Truth comes not with gull
It is tonic, spiced
With neme leaf and alligator pepper
Medicinal for the health
Our health
A threat with all shenanigans
Clouds not the word to obscurity
It has intensified its echo
With the rumble of thunderburst
The word cannot be chained
The truth cannot be caged
The truth bears the word
The word bears the truth
Truth is the light
A resplendent sunlight
Curing the night of deceit
The word is a balm
The truth is a medicine
The word, the truth our weapon!
