Truth and knowledge, behold,
The world of power dies to own;
Bearers thereof exiled apiece,
Haunted they live by chase and frown.
When power imposes truth,
For lust and greed for more power,
Not so much for truth's sake,
That ushers in a new era, of downfall,
For the power in hand is at stake.
An empire of arrogance built on sand,
In murky, shaky environs of muddy clay,
When withered away by winds of change,
Imminent, shall it 'stand a rainy day?
An empire built on knowledge,
Truth known for truth's sake,
It doesn't crack or run aflood,
Nor stumble, nor twist nor shake.
