FutureShocks

So thanks to Tharg and an interest in physics I was able to write this particular villanelle in quite a short period of time.  I still find it strange that a few random lines in a book I found accidentally could have been the starting point for a full poem, especially a villanelle.  I guess it proves the more you read, the better you write. Hopefully!

Entropy

We only have one certainty
on which we can rely,
there's no escaping entropy,

the destroyer of infinity,
how ever hard we try.
We only have one certainty,

all order ends chaotically.
A rule we all live by.
There's no escaping entropy,

it acts on all things equally,
all that exists must die.
We only have one certainty,

the end of all complexity
is a fact we can't deny.
There's no escaping entropy,

it's a part of our reality
that no one can defy.
We only have one certainty,
there's no escaping entropy.
