Ripples of Courage: A Truthful Tale

If you throw me into the pit,
For telling and standing for truth,
What will you be willing to do to the pit,
When the river overruns its bounds into the pit,
Unearthing and bringing to light what is hidden.

For what is obscure to you is in the open of people's daylight,
And one cannot be self-sufficient in knowledge.
But wisdom calls everyone, and very few are honoured.
Why search when you can find? Why hide when there are no mysteries?

In the dance of shadows, where truth and lies entwine,
I stand firm, a sentinel for the unveiled divine.
For every ripple in the river whispers a tale,
A chronicle of courage that will never fail.
