Inescapable

Choas reigns
In perpetuity the circle spins
Hands grasping at grains
Unstoppable
Tears removing happiness
Innocence bellows away

Desire seeks the path of least resistance
Following downward deeper into despair
Futilely Man tells Nature The Order
Scornfully Nature disciplines Man
The Law is unforgiving

Inaction is individualist
Unallowable
Hurtful to others
Ambivalence is a choice

There is no easy way out
Of a hole that only grows deeper
When the dirt you throw out
Never reaches the top
And all you want to do
Is stop stop stop

Trauma to begin
Trauma to grow
Trauma to end

A butterfly in Kansas
A tsunami in Japan
A farmboy with a magnifying glass
A sudden calm in the storm

A tired child rests
The hay flares up
And Choas reigns
