People.

So unique and inventive.
So thoughtful and creative.
With their own mindset and thinking.
And their own way of speaking.

People.

Cause wars and panic and stress.
They bring this planet into a gigantic mess.
Polluting the air that us humans breathe.
Spreading germs as humans sneeze.

People.

Intelligent and unique alike.
Our technology has had a huge spike.
Killing others for oil and wealth.
Not caring for other people's health.

People.

I have expressed the faults and rights.
Now it is up to you to decide what is wrong and right.
Is humanity good or bad?
Answer me this question and I will be glad.

I think humanity is connected with all things...there is somehow, to me, a special purpose for us being here...if only we'd realize how horifically we effect, not only nature, but each other...

your pen was thought provoking and yes, there is so much more we humans could be doing, the creativness, the intellectual could be's that we do not use....

but, then, maybe part of that pupose is for humanity to become more aware...

good poem

I don't think that the answer as an 'or' in it -- I think it has an "and".  People are good and bad.  Nothing is totally black and white.  But, good poem that creates some thought.

The depth of this philosophical poem shows that you're a bit wiser than your actual age. Stepping outside of the boundaries of "me, myself and I" also show growth. Keep stepping outside of the box to write about what you see, feel, sense, and you will find something magical with every day.

There are some good sound responses above...it's definitely not a black and white question, but more of a circle of life.

xTr3m3sT, personally speaking, it is not the answer that matters. Everyone will interperet & read into your poem differently which means you will not get 2 answers the same or the answer to the question that you yourself pose and seek..the important thing for me in this ( very good poem) is that it makes people ask the question of themselves....i.e it makes one think, when you can do that as you have obviously done here, you are off & running...good job

Thank you for your wise words

Yeah after the first 4 comments I realized that I wasn't going to get the same answer from everyone..Now I realize that I made this poem as A thinking one...That is so cool!
