A short poem about gardening, the conflict in Afghanistan and the nature of randomness.

Regimented rhododendrons,
Poppies hail - "Afghanistan"!
Order brought to wild environs;
Weeds are things we failed to plan.
Gardens grow without commanding -
Gardeners cut to shape their schemes.
Unexpected plants appearing,
Outperform our pretty dreams.
Joy! Our future can't be plotted;
Fear escapes my flesh and bones.
Beauty loves uncertain climates -
Celebrate "unknown unknowns"!
