Truth, by Yip Harburg

 Truth
by Yip Harburg, Rhymes for the irreverent, FFRF, Inc. Madison, WI, and The Yip Harburg Foundation, 2006
 
Truth is a foreigner
Under every dome,
Truth is a refugee
Looking for a home.
Without flag or passport,
Hounded, plagued, and banned,
Truth must be smuggled in --
It has no fatherland!

Truth is a subversive,
A super counterspy
No CIA or OGPA
Can shoot or bribe or buy.
Truth is the little candle
That throws its laser beam
And cuts the cancered darkness
Out of the living dream.
