There is order in nature
(or so they say)
of mountains and gorges
and lesser hills and waterways
There is order in life
(long live the government)
although there is struggle and strife
and lots of time you are happy or sad
order is a gravitational force
(pulling everything back in)
when the boiling heart of a volcano stops
spewing chaos and mountain tops
Order bosses atoms and their particles around
(putting everyone in their place)
replacing the loud silence of spontaneous vibrations
with the dull melody of noise
The order God is a rule of thumb
ordering other orders around
order is obedience's drug
soul's tranquilizer dart
There is order in reason
when thoughts line up like ducks
at the command of the weather boss
which makes snow fall in the right season
There is order too
in the syntax of things
and chaos
in the underlying meanings.
