She speaks of truth in her every lie We saw a calumny in a wolf's cry Her words had sprung a thousand wraith Dragging herself to hell's scorching gate. We watched her as she lifts the curse A harbinger for what could be worse The antagonist of a hundred episodes Reached epiphany as her secret unfolds. Like a canary in a lion's cage Devoured soon by the teeth of rage She chose silence over vindication Such a piety of a lost religion. A game she started but could not end For what its worth, a life to expend A boomerang of the Death's scythe Kindred heads are all there is to writhe. Your glorious days are gone with the wind As Justice judged all those who sinned Now you sit alone in that morbid chair And a familiar scent shall fill the air. Verily, you will bear the shame And stain the sake of your clan's name As our eyes watch in the shadows of the fray To claim what was ours, a hunted prey.

She speaks of truth in her every lie We saw a calumny in a wolf's cry Her words had sprung a thousand wraith Dragging herself to hell's scorching gate. We watched her as she lifts the curse A harbinger for what could be worse The antagonist of a hundred episodes Reached epiphany as her secret unfolds. Like a canary in a lion's cage Devoured soon by the teeth of rage She chose silence over vindication Such a piety of a lost religion. A game she started but could not end For what its worth, a life to expend A boomerang of the Death's scythe Kindred heads are all there is to writhe. Your glorious days are gone with the wind As Justice judged all those who sinned Now you sit alone in that morbid chair And a familiar scent shall fill the air. Verily, you will bear the shame And stain the sake of your clan's name As our eyes watch in the shadows of the fray To claim what was ours, a hunted prey.
This is a tribute to Janet Lim Napoles and the ongoing senate hearing for the 10-Billion Peso PDAF Issue
