PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I once had entropy explained. 

The comparison was to a room 

During a busy hectic week 

When the room devolves into chaos. 

When the laundry is piled high,

The floor littered with crumbs,

And the bed never made. 

If energy is not put into the room 

Then it remains in chaos. 

But have you ever started cleaning, 

Just kept on cleaning and tidying, 

Until nothing was left to clean but you?

Then hopped into the shower,

And walked through a clean house,

Feeling sublime in its purity? 

I have, just today I did that actually. 

But the world is way bigger 

Than any of our bedrooms

And the mess needs more energy

Than any one of us can muster. 

If we don’t put energy back into the system,

And start cleaning our rooms,

The entropy will drive it to chaos

As it is right now, as I write, and you read. 

Then again, we are putting a lot 

Of energy into the system aren’t we? 

With all we burn, and all we destroy. 

In the way we let rooms fall into disarray,

Focused on all the other things. 

So really what we need to do is clean 

With a purpose and a goal,

And not lose focus on what really matters.
