"Chaos Theory" The Message is sent on a breeze Fire eats the wounds of a Mother Her skin blisters cracks and peels Her children inhale a different pollen Drones bark messengers like Bowie's Diamond Dogs Tables now turn machines are giving orders to people Face masks to hide uncertainty We are all children wilful and ignorant Virus borne The colour Yellow Skin blamed and torn by ordinary cowards and Hooded politicians teeth fresh with juice Impeachment is on hold, now Butterflies flap their wings In another country another world away the silent streets roar The Messenger like a Ghost in dark shadow touches all Holy or Unholy The Hand has pushed one domino It moves a symphony of Chaos Notes sung from one mouth and swallowed by all Invisible tentacles calling in the day dreamers The Fallen rapture-stalled We sit inside 4 walls Closed windows and doors Without blessed candles and Holy Water Waiting for a new morning While the unknown Hand Majestically drops another Black Ball (LadyLabyrinth/2020) https://youtu.be/_7wKjTf_RlI Max Cooper - Order From Chaos (official video by Maxime Causeret) "It used to be thought that the events that changed the world were things like big bombs, maniac politicians, huge earthquakes, or vast population movements, but it has now been realised that this is a very old-fashioned view held by people totally out of touch with modern thought. The things that really change the world, according to Chaos theory, are the tiny things. A butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazonian jungle, and subsequently a storm ravages half of Europe.” (Neil Gaiman, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch) "This ain't rock'n'roll, this is genocide As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent You asked for the latest party With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump Dressed like a priest you was Todd Browning's freak you was Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee I'm sure you're not protected, for it's plain to see The diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal I'll keep a friend serene..."
