The Drugstore

I stole a garden hid it from flames,
to try and keep just one thing alive;
Collateral carnage of war games,
a single bloom of evolution won't thrive;

Detonation of everything but peace,
so careless is the nature of war;
Decimated there's nothing to seize 
save P.T.S.D flooding the drugstore.
