We need more gardeners

If you care to listen,
I am on a mission,
To get more people into the garden,
And away from Satan,
Where the good can stay clean, 
By joining an army that wants no weeds to be seen,
So the young and keen don't have to carry a gun,
In a place where the trees can keep us out of the midday sun,
And the madness that makes us run for a gun.

The more we garden the more we will have to share,
And the more we have to share,
The less we will care,
If someone gets a bigger share,
Which can only reduce the number who would go to war,
Over who gets what share,
And if it is bombs you fear,
The only blast you should hear,
Would be from water bombs that we take there.


Beauty will always calm the beast within,
If it is a garden you are in.
