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 night stick
