I think this poem expresses the truth about man kind. We are love but also the face of hate. We can cause so much pain yet do so much good. And in saying that i agree that we have to face the problems caused by others.
sam
This poem is really cool!***
katay
i loved the simplicity and directness and the almost arrogant, childish, brusque approach to a positive attitude. it seemed as if the poet was aiming to convince not only audiences of his determination but also himself.
