All You Need to Know

 Someday the Prince will rescue the Princess.
That's all you need to know.
You don't need to know their names,
Or who they were, 
Or why she was trapped in the first place.
All you need to know is that there's a prince, a princess, and a celebration.

You don't need to know the names of the peasants
Who hate the king
Who fathered the prince.
You don't need to know
That it's said the rescue
Was nothing more
Than politics,
Nothing more than show by the rich.

You don't need to know
That a dragon was lied to
When the king said
They would let it live.

You don't need to know the name of the dragon's daughter,
Who destroyed both kingdoms out of vengeance
The day she learned of her father's death.

Ignore all of the details
And all stories have a happy ending,
Where no one cries
And everyone lives to old age.

If you ever feel overwhelmed
All you need to know is that life is simple,
Provided you never ask questions.
