Mankind is horrible.
And I hate people who say
Humans are nice.
I believe wholeheartedly that
Humanity stinks.
No matter what happens I will never ever believe that
Things will change.
I believe
Also that people are no good animals.
There will always be greed.
I refuse to cater to the thought that
There could be friendship.
I agree with other humans that
People are selfish.
I do not believe that
People will help each other.
It is so obvious that
Human race is headed to doom.
People say that
Change is happening for the better.
This is a lie.
Violence will prevail with humans
People say
And this is definitely true.
Brother loves brother
Only fools like to believe.
Mankind lives on the philosophy: an eye for an eye
And this is the truth.
No matter what happens I will not change my beliefs
Humans are devils.
I will never ever say
I love humanity!


The author's comments:

This piece is a poem that can be read forwards and backwards each with different meanings known as a palindrome peom. For example the last lines will read backwards: I believe things will change. This was a very interesting piece that I created and I definitely enjoyed creating it.
