Entropy's Revenge

Structured strength slips
Rusty reinforcement rips
Scaffolding of my life gives way
Skeleton then upholding now decays

Purpose has been outlived
Reasons ill-conceived
All intents at permanence
Degrades to effervesence

What's built to last
Has been undone
Thrust has lost
Gravity's won

What's gone up has indeed come down
In this vacuum I scream and make no sound.
