Level Carbon

by Oonah V. Joslin

Let us suppose that
Entropy always increases
Very unlikely then
Evolution led to us
Like a lizard writing Shakespeare
Evolution led to us?
Very unlikely then
Entropy always increases.
Let us suppose that...

Carbon (thank God) has such high entropy
Arranged in lots of complex ways
Ribonucleic acid, our precious DNA
Bestow on Earth these possibilities
Oxygenating algae, plants and trees
Nowhere else we know of has life such as these
Oxygenating algae, plants and trees
Bestow on Earth these possibilities
Ribonucleic acid, our precious DNA
Arranged in lots of complex ways
Carbon (thank God) has such high entropy
