Chaotic World - How Science Evolved (Satire)

What if the world of science wasn’t built in silence… but amidst pure chaos?

A ball falls while an apple drops and a cat simply walks past through the scene.
And somewhere in between, humanity keeps trying to explain everything.

Chaotic World is a symbolic satirical ride through curiosity, discovery, confusion, and the absurd chain of ideas that shaped the modern world.

Some references will scream. Some will whisper. The rest? Maybe they’re still waiting to be discovered.

You do not need to know physics to read this poem for you only need curiosity.

[The chaos begins.]

A ball is thrown

Towards a marshy land

Where seeds were getting sown

Ball fell down with the sound of band

The player says oh shit it went away

But Cartesian says hey I’m here.

And a person under a tree asks,

“Why did it even fall?”

Amidst all this,

An office clerk sees this and says,

“Ball attracts Earth.”

The player then says

“The ball attracts me.”

And the clerk claps his hands.

An apple fell off the tree,

And hit the ball,

Which traversed to the field.

To which the person shouted,

“Inertia!”

In the meanwhile, 

A crow picked the apple up,

Its claws got pulled off,

And apple fell down,

Yet again…

The person and the clerk together shouted,

“Yo, it’s a force, it’s attraction!”

While the apple finally landed…

On a bath tub,

And it sank down,

Which made an angry man shout,

“Eureka!”

What did you find, asked another guy.

“Go measure your gold.”

Yelled the Angry man.

The guy went home, 

Only to see his golden compass

Deflect here and there when he

Switched on the bulb.

His elder brother from the windows

Yelled “Yo Ampere?”

The yell shocked the guy,

To which neighbour Mr. Volta

Reduced the chemical taxes.

“I broke atoms.” Said Mr. Volta.

An old man differs.

“You can’t cut things!”

“Hold these 3 things

And don’t come my way.”

A seer laid a brick

And turned away.

“Yo it’s a nuke!”

Said a man from Manhattan.

A woman was walking, warning

“It’s enough to light life,

Or simply end it.”

An uncertain guy thought,

“Should I let it end or…

Stop it right there?”

While a cat passed through,

And went away…

Clerk’s friend passes through

“Maybe cat saw all the fuss,

Or maybe it didn’t.”

Cat out of fear

Jumped over the grass

“Oops F2 is dead…”

Said the Graduate Gardener.

His uncle walked past,

“Evolution can’t stop.”

A kid stumbled upon the lawn

“Is it just me playing,

Or there’s somebody else too?”

“There’s a pale blue ball.” says his friend.

“Well we can just question…

And probably answer.”

A baby babbled.

“Can’t we just increase intelligence?”

And made his toy run!

With wheels of it’s own.

Amidst all this the player comes…

Smiles and Picks up the ball

And leaves the ground

To write ‘everything’

Into a theory that makes sense.
