James Moore Poet Narrative

Chaos Theory

Find a cool place with tolerant people
Move right in, enjoy (or rather exploit)
Their kindness and abundance
Get firmly planted, reproduce
Bring your families over too
And the very cultures and oppressive systems
You supposedly were fleeing
Until suddenly before they know it
You have become intractable
A social and political force
Of chaos.

Gershon Wolf November 6, 2025 at 8:40 PM Yep. You've nailed the formula for disaster, alright... btw, I think you'd really like a short poem titled 'The Japanese,' by Ogden Nash. He wrote it in 1938, but it's as relevant today as ever. ~Gershon James Moore November 7, 2025 at 2:02 PM Ogden’s poem is great, so civil and yet so cutting. James Moore November 7, 2025 at 6:40 AM Thanks Gershon, will check it out.
