History 101
All that you need to know
about history
is that when the last survivor
of the holocaust
dies,
and there are no more
tattooed arms,
the reality of the event
will cease.
Questions and speculations
have already begun
whether it even occurred
at all.
Who controls the present,
controls the very existence
of the past.
That alone is enough
to make honest men
cry.
