Change is Within Everything
Molecules flow in and out of cells,
Continually replacing each other.
Our cells live a few years at most
While our bodies live much longer.
Countries may last even longer
But the people in them change.
Only the nonphysical
Can be constant
At its core
Everything else
Is built on change.
Stability in our world
Is more of an appearance
Than an underlying reality.
Patterns may be repeated,
But the materials change.
Even our currency shows
This underlying principle:
When we break a dollar,
What we get is change!

The wonder of reality.
Oh My Goodness. I had to go back and read through this a few extra times. I adore the physics metaphors, and now can clearly see why you enjoyed them on my last one.
This is amazing, so poetically physiology in the first few verses, too.

Change is good I think...good poem :)
I like the comparison of cells in bodies to people in countries. Very good.
That was great, Mike. Loved it right to the last line.
On the Mark, Mike.
Very short and simple, yet holds much insight to how our world came to be. I enjoyed every word :)
@Wilma, I assume you mean because I started with "in and out" and then ended with a discussion of money! LOL!
Sounds like a poem about sex to me. Good job.
