I Never Promised You a Rose Garden (Free verse) by oneglove

Pick a petal Watch it fall One by one All for all Play the game An empty stem The answer known He still loves them A broken flower Still bears thorns A rose is lost A garden born Crimson lawns Remind one thing From dark November The light of spring

actually i didnt know linda anderson sang it, it's been covered by others though. this is about the slaying of 6 priests, their maid and her daughter by the government in el salvador in 1989. there is now a rose garden planted in the field where they were lined up and killed. the contrast between the red rose petals and blood stained lawn really struck me.
