A HISTORY LESSON

People forget. People forget that trees
for a long time never grew. People forget
that some things are sacred. People forget promises.
People forget that glory is taken away
and later given back. People forget that
there is a destiny. People forget that wars are fought
and some have no support. People forget that some
take and are willing to give back,
but for others, there is no compromise.
People forget that there is a dirty job
that has to be done.

Sometimes, people are never told.
