All Things Fall Apart (aka Everything is Nothing)
All things fall apart
because all things
naturally self-destruct
as entropy exerts its shadowy force.
Order, or whatever we posit as non-chaos
is thus fleeting
held up by causes and conditions
that are themselves fleeting.
Thus the shadow of non-existence
permeates all form, all thought,
all notion of existence,
as its true nature.
All things fall apart
through self-destruction
because they never existed
in the first place.
What is this shadowy entropy?
A lack at the heart of existence
who’s existence can only be seen
in its fleeting forms.
And yet, forms arise continuously,
as merely labeled things
in ordered appearance
for our fleeting enjoyment and use.
The question then is,
“What is the creative force?”
Ah, the mystery of mind
vainly searching for itself.
