Chaos as a Revolutionary Act: A Poem
In the sterile halls of order’s reign,
Where conformity’s shackles remain,
A whisper grows, a rumble deep,
As chaos from its slumber leaps.
Fractals dance on tattered flags,
Time bends and reality lags,
In alleys dark and squares so bright,
Disorder paints the world tonight.
Systems crumble, norms dissolve,
As minds and matter both evolve,
The status quo, once set in stone,
Now trembles on its fragile throne.
Butterfly wings in Beijing flap,
Tornadoes form from this small tap,
Unpredictability’s might,
Turns day to dawn, and dawn to night.
In chaos’ wake, new worlds arise,
Fresh perspectives greet our eyes,
For revolution’s truest face,
Is not in order, but disgrace.
So let us embrace the wild unknown,
And dance where seeds of change are sown,
For in the heart of chaos’ art,
A new world waits, ready to start.
This is not destruction for its sake,
But rebirth’s chance, a clean slate,
In chaos’ crucible, we find,
The power to remake humankind.
So rise, you lovers of the strange,
Embrace the tides of ceaseless change,
For in disorder’s vibrant song,
We find the strength to right old wrongs.
