When GOD was born
there was CHAOS.
These first things in the wonder of origins
stared and ran.
Their most scary and primal thought was,
"where the heck did we just come from?"
Early disagreements solved that by establishing forms.
Soon it was discovered that closed systems will
stop,eventually.
Also open systems tend to fly apart.
"Hmmm" said CHAOS.
Some balance must be made.
I guess humans call it the madelbrot set
but it proves that order flows from chaos.
Once its given a chance of course.
Order can never be imposed.
Angels who dance on flying ball bearings.
The inevitability of destruction.
And Laughter.Know this.
Yet from this came dreams.
"Ooooh ,expanding topology." said the angels.
Death becomes a teacher more powerful
than Yoda.
One flies towards or away,
but one learns.
Or the observer does,or whatever.
The point is the universe will kill you,
so you better make friends with it.
Its funny to me but the lions are
supposed to eat you.
And your all confused and don't know who to kill.
So funny since,nothing is your enemy,
and it backed you into the hall of mirrors.
If you don't figure it out,you will probably die.
Paying attention always helps.
Who is out to get you?
Thats a useful question,but answering it?
Thats your problem.
