" HARMONY " MY PHOTO , ©
In the beginning, there was Chaos, Hesiod*
of old tells us
then
with the passing of time and the intervention of the divine,
slowly and persistently, the order was established
but
Chaos has not disappeared at all as it is lurking:
into the core of Cosmos-
into every heart
into every mind
and
into every soul
waiting
for the right moment to strike
to overthrow harmony and back to anarchy, triumphantly, us
to bring.
Imperative it is, therefore,
with each step we take,
vigilant we have to be, my friend,
questioning
everything that concerns us-
our being
our dreams
our becoming
thus
advisable for us would be
never accept something at
face value
but
on the contrary, we should, everything that concerns us
in-depth to examine
so,
good would be, suspicion's shield high to raise
for
to protect the inner order that we have so painstakingly achieved,
and
by doing so, to Chaos victims we would
never fall!
