Entropy

Below my feet is ground
Above my head is space
In between I move around
And in my mind my thoughts
Replace themselves with 
Other ones. On the ground are 
Things that died and in their bodies
Creatures eat and in time, replace
The meat with newer things that fly.
Above my head celestial bodies
Spin and journey outwards so
And sometimes crash to dust;
Reform and newer worlds begin.

Entropy increases?
The world will fall to pieces?
Humpty dumpty sat on the wall!
