The eternal garden is being destroyed: A poem 

(Anthony Albanese, you don’t take advantage of my grief like you always have, I’ll fuck you!) 

I feel like an eternal garden 

that each moment is having its flowers squished 

one by one, by an evil invader 

The pain is percolating through the veins, through the nerves 

Who can tell that the gardener is himself, the garden?

The bushes falling over one another, the hedgerow is exhuming 

its own roots, its own fences, defences. We are all in a land 

where no one wants to acknowledge that the gardener  

is sinking slowly into the earth, as if he can no longer 

stand up to the force of fraud, the treason of torture. This gardener, 

who left no stone unturned to become his creation, itself. 

Everyone is in denial, have always been. No one believes the gardener! 

He is reluctant to cry, but finds no tears even to die 

in the helplessness due to those who find it convenient  

to have faith in the villain, and to discount the victim    

 Even the most favourite flower, the opus of his love! 

She prefers hypocrisy, refuses to tell the world the truth! 

The gardener is fraught to be torn in disparateness of wisdom –

to continue to tend his garden, or to blow himself apart 

There is too much pain in his heart    

His soil is parched, though his soul is wet with grief 

Can he take this to its resolution or will he wither in the futility  

against the overwhelming conspiracy of those who capitalise 

on his grief, because they are leveraged by the beguiler?!
