The Devil's Garden
In the garden
the flowers call you to them
only to make a fool of you
by hiding their pain.
Don't trust the flowers,
they promise you more
than your memory can hold.
Aggression is only and afterthought
supplying one with
a false sense of power,
the will to overcome... like a thorny
weed plucked from the ground.
