Chaos Theory
Tick
A butterfly
Gently closes
Its wings
And alights
On a previously discarded
Match stick
Somewhere in the Indian Ocean
Tock
A thousand
Children die
Crops fail again
Another drought
And fifty million square acres
Of rain forest are lost to us each year
Tick
Mutant virus
Escapes from lab
Another Policeman stabbed
Tobacco kills but politicians kill even more
