Mankind's Entropy

The difficulties of modern life,
Its complexity, problems and strife
Put undue pressures on the populations
Leading to waring religions and nations
And our technological advances
Have outpaced social progress chances,
Bi-polar disorders, paranoia and psychosis
Result from increasing tensions' neurosis,
To be normal in today's society
Is difficult with this worldwide anxiety
And the normal, modern man
Is indeed a rather rare variety,
Haunted by economic pressures, wars,
The increasing complexity and insanity,
Man is also heavily burdened
By his hubris and his vanity
Added to his need to survive
The ever increasing difficulties of life.
One may predict that the future
Of mankind could probably be,
Like all creatures and systems,
Deterioration and entropy.
