Truth entered the room ...

I can picture the cuff links, the dark suits, of the apparatchiks - 

I counted the wrinkles in the back of the chief officer's neck - 

I heard the whisper of cruel agendas - 

The committee room had no windows - 

My comrades spoke with passion and knowledge - 

We whooped with joy when the vote was taken - 

Truth had entered the room like a glorious unexpected guest -
