Another Reverse Poem

So, in English class today, we were assigned to write a poem about either love, beauty, or change. Here's mine: 

Love
"Love is the center of everything."
This is false.
Love is worthless.
"There is no point in love."
No one has ever said
Love is important.
Smart people say
Love is a lie.
The opposing say
Love is worth it.
They are wrong.
The right answer is:
Love doesn't exist.
(Now read the poem from bottom to top)

I was actually too scared to read this in class. After having a boy read it to himself, he kindly volunteered. The class was in silence after he read it.
