As Diferent Wars Saturate The News

I cannot even end the old battles
that go on within me,
where after many decades
I now know who lied,
and what they covered up, 
but now it is too late for me
for me to know why they lied,
and what else they were hiding,
beneath what they were covering up.

Roll on the selective amnesia
where I only remember what I need to,
and forget what I now don't need to know,
and most of all, to KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.
