The philosopher Democritus once said

 

Of truth we know nothing

 

For truth is in a well

 

But that is about to change as I saw truth

 

Emerge naked from her well

 

With a sharp whip in her hand

 

Liars and actors take heed of my timely warning

 

For she is ready to punish you for your many indecencies
