Man Is [X] Good... [X] Evil... [ ] Doomed

I remember when he said:

The world is a terrible place,

but it is also a beautiful place.

People are born

People die

People break addiction

People cling to their comforts

People extend a hand of forgiveness

People hold tight to their anger

People will drink from the chalace of peace

and some will hope the other's is poisoned

Despite all our best efforts

humanity is falling

And yet there is the ones who persist

they take their rocks

they take their bricks

they take their pain

and they b i d

build

on the foundations of a new dawn

a new day

a new beginning

There will be people who destroy all goodness

There will be people who are good despite all the bad

If you do not see the goodness while searching around you

then it is your duty to become that goodness

Humanity is evil

But humanity is also very very good
