"Peace in the Garden" by Bob Atkinson

"Peace in the Garden"

(c)2010 Bob Atkinson

She looked down

into her open hands

wishing she had been

born without them

for the torture 

they had given

he'd said 

"it was no big deal"

as he shot into her arm

the chemical which would displace

all her worry about harm

but what he didn't tell her

in his deceptive nature

was that her life was 
at an end

and his slave 
he would make her

she wasn't a bad girl

was caring for her mom

yet, years of being lonely

had her searching for someone

he had upon her weakness pounced

and taken her by her heart

and worked his way into her soul

for his own selfish lark

now she looked into the vial

that would solve all these problems

and give her freedom back to her

below some grassy garden
