Truth: the Forgotten Corpse In War

Before any thunder and lightning from man is dealt 
Before any storm reaching passed the sea to ring the knell 
Truth’s dead soul pierces through clouds like moonlight to be felt 

A forgotten corpse wasting away in a forest’s well 
Guarded by armies of trees that storms have defaced 
A forgotten corpse for all consuming birds to smell 

Truth’s memorial will outlive kingdoms which will waste 
A sea that consumes kingdoms built from sand like Saudi 
Which any child on the beach’s large body will taste 

Bullets ripping skin apart on Adam’s body 
Truth pouring out like red blood shedding tears 
Raining on the field’s grass to be seen by somebody 

Monarchs dressed in soft and costly clothes blind from beers 
Blinded by amber to the truth being death’s firstborn 
Screaming and wailing but no monarch even hears 

In heaven where not any lightning or thunder is born 
Before any thunder and lightning from man is dealt 
The angel Armozel accepts Truth his son with no bourn 
Truth’s dead soul pierces through clouds like moonlight to be felt
