RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Order and Chaos
Organisms in nature seek chaos
A natural dissolution of order
A progressive rusting away
Despite the way of nature
Humans are driven to create order
Structures imposed upon the chaos
Like dams upon the Mississippi
Like agriculture in the barren desert
Like roadmaps in the expanse of space
We have created concrete cities
Highways, bridges, and railways
We have created tunnels beneath us
Pathways in the skies above
We navigate the deep blue seas
We have constructed a civilization
To stand several millennia
Knowing it will not likely endure
The next wave of destruction
Chaos is the way of the world
And we poor humans
Can only hope or pray
That some small remnants
Remain in the rubble of
The final days
