What To Believe

What to Believe
And here we go again, a conflict that can end in war
and both sides blame the other and we believe in
lies according to out political convictions.
Everyone claims to know the truth which they are unable
to verify without calling the opponent names.
Could the cynical truth be that Europe needs a war
not a devastating one, but just a little bloodletting before
settling the matter in Berlin.  
War memorials and solemn handshakes.
