The Keeper

By Subhiksha Arulselvam

Within each of our bodies lies an entity

An entity with the power to

love and to hate

to bring about good and evil

to have order and disorder

We know this entity to be--chaos

A being whose every action bears an equal twin

And this we know to be the truth

For without disorder, there can be no order

Without evil, there can be no good

Without wrongs, there cannot be rights

We find this entity withing the most peculiar of places

Within us

In our past we can find the we have created:

As much darkness as light

Disorder and order

Evil and good

The list could go on

This entity is the keeper of our world

Without it we would cease to exist

And it lays within each and every one of us

This entity is called---chaos.
