Chaos, Keep It Coming!
By Heather Ryphemi Stregay

Can you imagine how life would be
If there were no entropy?
Or, making matters even worse,
The law of entropy were reversed?
Books would get straighter on their shelves,
And children's rooms would clean themselves!
And every rock or stick or tree
Would form a crystal, perfectly.
There'd be no anarchy or war
For everyone would know the score.
Every thing and every face
Would have its certain time and place.
Replacing every beach would pass
An endless stretch of flawless glass.
The sea would be the brightest blue,
And every day the sky would too.
How beautiful would be our world
If order did command it.
If all were straight and never curled:
Perhaps we should demand it.
You'd think a world sans entropy
Would be a lovely place to be.
I said this recently myself,
As all my books fell off their shelf.
Yet pondering this ordered bliss,
I noticed things that I would miss,
Like rolling waves upon the sea,
Or sugar for my morning tea:
The sugar won't dissolve, it's true,
That ant-entropy holds like glue.
And after that, I saw with grief,
There'd be no fractaled maple leaf:
No beauty in the summer wood,
Should chaos disappear for good.
What a bore, to know each day
Would turn out in the same old way.
If entropy would disappear
There'd be no fortune, fate or luck
And even after many years,
Vegas wouldn't make a buck.

wow.... i'm speechless..... but i guess it's true.... I mean we all hate all the bad things going on in the world today, but without all of that, the world wouldn't be beautiful..... there would be no compassion..... it would be great to have a perfect world without disasters, but it is at the time of those disasters that people come together no matter what faith, race, or nationality..... and that is what makes the world beautiful.....

The author is stating what we normally curse, Chaos, actually is helpful. It is a playful look at a very serious subject. You can tell she is being playful because of the short lines and the rhyme. You can also tell it is modern because of the word "fractaled" (meaning formed of small, repeated patterns) which comes from Chaos theory.

So disorder can be useful even though we look around at it and want order. Very nicely put! Very much like Bennet Cerf would have written 50 years earlier.

Yeah Chaos keeps us going.
The only permanent thing in life is Change.
It's a great poem

beautiful. wonderful. excellent. in the poem you spoke the truth about life. it would be wonderful to have a life like that. but having a life like that would be boring. life is full of twist, turns, ups, and downs. but all that makes life interesting. the imperfections of life, is what keeps us interested in it forever.
