Truth and Light

When the light comes on, roaches will scatter Scampering for the nearest crack, crevice or hole When gossip comes to a deaf ear, there's an abrupt stop to all chatter Expeditiously in comes the judge, allowing truth to be told When thieves get out and wander in darkness In search of the next quick lick When knaves come to spew lies on the chosen who walk in meekness In come the authorities with their baretta and nightstick.
