Common Cause

Arise you gardeners of the world!
Across time zones and weather
zones, national boundaries and
continents people in a common cause
gather their outrage against nature's
conspiring entrepreneurs be they
bacteria, insects, moulds or any other
infestations whose purpose in existence
is to drive passionate gardeners to 
the brink of madness. These are
pests designed to dine out on the
very plants and flowers that brighten
the lives of garden-besotted people
young and old, wealthy and not who
sacrifice time and energy and hopes
on achieving a state of balance 
between artifice and authenticity
in success to rival nature herself.
Enraged at their destructive path
through our precious gardens merely
because they have been tutored by
genetic inheritance to survive, we
whack them and trap them, poison
them in an effort to liquidate their 
omnivorous pestilence, and in the 
process insult nature's fine balance.
