Horticulture on a Haughty Culture

If the world is our back garden
then I don’t want these fences
that make all these tensions harden
and put us on our defences.

If the ocean is our pond
then I propose we make it shared;
it was produced that way au fond
so why did tempers become flared?

If this country is our home
why do I live amongst strangers?
Is it safer to live alone
when fellow lodgers present dangers?

If the world is our back garden
then it is time we mowed the grass
and pray the withered grant us pardon
for the Earth’s malnourished past.
