A truly good man does nothing
yet leaves nothing undone.

Lao Tsu

 

 

Entropy

 

Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Chemical concoctions
self-replicating without supervision
Imperfections built-in accommodate change
automatic adaptability

Recursive neuron networks
made to learn from the environment
Passing on knowledge
to gain yet more knowledge

Chaos personified
call it creativity
Creatures of improvisation and invention
built specifically to themselves build

We walk the millennia through trial and strife
gathering wisdom, bit by bit, grain by grain
Insight's revealed once a thousand years
momentary revelations of our intrinsic beauty

Man never ever makes anything
with the express purpose
of making life more complicated
We are all but a piece of Tao
the universe naps, energy conserved.
Truly we are the image of our creator;
lazy divinity.
