Chaos Theory

I dreamed a dream. I think it was real, I remember thinking it had to be, but now i'm not so sure, no wait I am. In the dream peace reigned, and I hated it. Peace reigned, everyone hated it.

Eat well, work hard
We're watching you
Sleep well, are you happy?
We know you are

Everything had changed, we didn't fear any longer. There was no change, no unpredictability, no decisions and perfect happiness, fate was telling us what to do. All we did was follow, follow like white rabbits throught the looking glass. There were some people unhappy, but there are always some. There were some people dying, but there always are. There was no blur, all lines were distinct. There was no doubt that we were in utopia, we had made it by shaping our destinies with the iron will of order.

Everyone was equal except those that were superior, but there always are some. Some were inferior but we never heard much from them, I wonder what happened to the inferiors. We were told that we were better off than everyone out there, we were all superiors relative to them. We were a super race. And we were being lead by people who were more apt to do that sort of thing, people were forced into leading...nobody wanted to it, we were told.

We showed you to live
So you are good
On your own, who knew your way
So, are you good?

People didn't have friends, friends are only temporary. They happen to be going through life at the same time, place and experience. We didn't have relationships either. We had marriage, it is a social contract, there is order in marriage. There was no love, love is fickle and unpredicatable, thus it is clearly chaos. We didn't have choices, choices are unpredictable. We had rights, rights can be defined, what is defined is predictable. We had laws, they were broken at times but we were told that they had to be. Everyone was the same under these laws, except the superiors and the inferiors, obviously.

I broke a rule
Oh what are you to do?
Your law I obey not
Boo hoo, boo hoo?

And then...from within order, Chaos reigned. There was choice, there was unpredictability, there was love, there were friends and there were no leaders. Everyone was different, people had different rules, everyone their own master. There was fear. There were those who were lost, yet some had finally found their way.

I dreamed a dream. Chaos reigned, and we were free.
