The human race
Those who roam the earth
And call it their own place
The possessive bastards
Who cheat, lie and steal
With the mask of security
Whose smile
Is always faked
Hiding insanity inside
Each human passing by
Every single on coming near
Hides a horrendous lie
The gluttony
The lust
The greed
Those who are amused
Who play life as a game
And laugh at those who lose
I wonder what we could be
What we should be
As I choke on my own lie
Why are we not animals?
A mystery to most
It’s because we’re monsters
The shadows under the bed
The skeletons in the closet
That make kids cry all night
For we have the freedom
The choice
Yet we turn away grinning
Pity those who are strong
Those who are kind
And forgiving
For they live in a world of masks
No one is who they seem
And no one is true
Those who break
Are the ones who find truth
And can no longer live a lie
Those who cope
Silently go insane
At the knowledge of truth
Those who kill
Both hope and humanity
Have nothing left to lose
The lie is the strength
To cover up the organs
Of a hollow shell
The strength which is true
Is the weakness
We decide to use
What is a human?
A monster with no salvation
Given the chance one more time
What would we be
If we weren’t so gross
And if we were kind
And once we’re gone for good
The world continues
Just like it should

What is your favorite/most relatable poem from this book to date?
Since I still have like, no Wi-Fi, the next poem will be on a Monday or Tuesday. I can't promise another one this Sunday since I didn't prepare enough on my Docs sheet to just copy-paste.
Seriously sorry,
