Controlled chaos,
I heard them say.
Is that what this is,
Amid the pain?

They hold control,
And yet we fall,
Wanting to hide,
To get away from the pain,
The pain that’s controlled.

And here I stand,
Alone and confused,
Where’s their control?
It disappeared with everything else,
But they forget,
And the chaos reigns.

The children cry,
The rest weep,
No one knows,
No one sees,
As the control slips,
By our feet.

The tears turn slowly,
Stone takes their place,
Time drifts mildly,
Unlike our fate.

And here we stand,
Looking around,
Wondering of the day,
They claimed they held,
Their controlled chaos.

Good one.
And after the chaos,
what comes
but freedom,
who can feel the loss
of order, can appreciate
the beauty of peace.
Greeetings,

Terrific Write. It just seems sometimes that control is just Chaos taking a rest for a second, doesn't it??
