Order

and it Others:

Disorder and Chaos

Order helps to know

futures both near and far

It is not a state but a process

requiring constant effort & input

persistence & maintenance-diligence

to hold at bay disorder and chaos

roots to unpredictable futures

which make life so difficult

for our projective being

as order eases living

Order is comforting

providing limited control

as long as it is maintained and

approached as an on-going process

that is easily lost to disorder and chaos

Disorder still allows for back-tracing

Chaos is total & uncompromising

enforcing a fresh beginning

as threat & opportunity

Order’s others destroy

predictability of any future

whether unwanted or deliberate

Creative destruction requires daring

and a can-do approach to the unknown

that trusts in the unpredictable future

as a wellspring of hope & exaltation

which would be extinguished by

any order taken to extreme
