Some people want to sue me for libel
They say I have defamed them
But in exposing their corruption
All I did was name them
I listed their crimes
I exposed their guilt
And now they’re clutching at straws
Attempting me to incriminate
But I know one thing above all else
That in this world you have no friends
Just peacefully transacting foes
And so I have not based my evidence
On the perceptions of those to whom I’m close
But my enemies have, for they have nothing else
Except the derision of envy and inferiority
And their lukewarm claim to fame's shell
No integrity, no service
No commitment to humankind
Just their greed and blatant tyranny
And abuse of all that’s right
So I say go ahead, let the process flow
Engage in gutter politicking if you must
For that’s the only thing you know
For I myself have come to terms
With all of my own crimes
And resolved to never re-commit them
Fore guided by the Thiru Kural’s light am I
My enemies must need of something
Perhaps its just money
For if it were aplenty
They would not behave like monkeys
To words they've forced me and my liberal troop
To words I’m close for this is my life’s soup
Bring it on the player haters
You’ve got nought to gain but your failure
And I alone with triumphant fate
Defending truth and justice’s gate
Will meet you in the middle
Swords drawn to counter your call
To words to words my army to words!
Let liberty, dignity and privacy be tyranny’s downfall
