"The Gardner" Explained

I feel the need to explain my inspiration for this poem.
When I saw on the news that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
was killed, I first thought ok another dead person in this war.
However, when the news stated that an eight-year-old child was killed,
it infuriated me. With all the US intelligence it seems like they could have
shot him, instead of dropping two five-hundred pound bombs on the house.
The child’s death may have been excusable to some, but it totally pissed me off!
