grenades in the garden

 

 

the men who fell at dieppe

they are the gardeners who grow grenades.

the six million who speak for buchenwald and auswltz and dachau

they are the fertilizer for the gardeners who grow grenades

the thousands of dresden who shed blood like rain

their blood waters the gardens where the grenades grow

and those of us who forget

we are the children who run through the garden

marvelling at the grenades beauty

 

there are grenades in the garden
