Yet To Be Determined (a Reverse Poem, Read Top To Bottom Then Bottom To Top)

The race between humanity and the planet is becoming increasingly fast paced
The future is yet to be determined
And as for the world’s other inhabitants
Their days are numbered
The legions of deforestation and pollution have rallied their troops
We march to seize the earth
Destruction is for the better
No one can convince me that
The planet is worth saving.
