Humanity's Problem
My view of humans
Is a zero-star rating
For sure,
For we possess an ability
To be unspeakably
Brutal
And cruel
And evil
And wicked.
We are certainly
Not life,
For we are death itself,
Destroying everything
That irritates
And aggravates us.
We are the very destruction
Of our sad world.
Oh God,
You must help us,
We must cry soon,
Or all will surely be
Lost and broken.
We are the cause of
Every single problem
That comes about;
We can't even call ourselves
Anything good.
We are not humans;
We're not even creatures.
We are selfish,
Greedy,
Evil
Things!
About this poem
Um so fun fact: parts of this poem were actually written in all caps. Yeah, I was really struggling to have any sort of faith in humanity at that time.
