Controlled Chaos

What's going on here 
Something feels way off
Barely keeping a grip 
This is controlled chaos 

Everyone is running
In different directions
They can't get far
Alarms sound on detection

With it's sensative sensors
The secondary defense's 
They tripped the alarm
So very relentless

Someone has slipped by
But they won't stay lost
We will catch them 
This is controlled chaos.

You patience will be tested
To their very limits
We must maintain control
The people are livid

So show no fear
Be ready to take action
Stay in control
Observe their reactions

They won't gain upper hand
Win control make their claim
If you keep your composure
We'll do the same

Then you can leave
Find a pillow to lay on
Exhausted from maintaining
Controlled chaos

"This is controlled chaos" Yes, it certainly seems that way. Powerful are your words and so true. Beautifully written and presented. ~ Brandy
