Thank God for Entropy by Peter Reum

They say you can't legislate brotherhood
Attitudes don't change by force
Societies fall apart through conflict
That sane people would never endorse

The lessons history has taught us
It seems we are doomed to repeat
We think that somehow we are different
Our uniqueness makes us elite

Change is neither good nor bad
It is inevitable like taxes and death
We stubbornly cling to our biases
Until we draw our last breath

We seem to swing in perpetuation
Wondering if we are holy or ape
There must be a third choice somewhere
There is a logical answer that
concerns neither celibacy or rape

Clearly our ability to reason
Has not imitated the deity some say
Created the planet on which we live blithely
Instead we destroy our home---living only for today

What will it take to teach us to see
That ruining this Earth for all species
Is an incredibly short sighted outcome
That renders all humans contemptible
For believing there is no stink in our feces

Thankfully our destiny is extinction
Before we can spoil our nest
Entropy may intervene on behalf
Of Mother Earth-when we fail
Life's simple test
