When first read, the reader may think that the poem is praising humanity. The repeated use of the words “Humanity i love you” in each stanza creates an almost childlike image in mind, as if the reader is suggesting why society is wonderful. This is not the case though. The imagery contributes to the overall meaning of the poem, which makes the reader believe humanity is good, but in fact, it isn't. “Dangles from his watch chain” creates the image of the appearance of wealth in Stanza 1, while “committing nuisances” in Stanza 5 creates the image of disturbing domestic lives. Many of these images are later revealed to be false with the line “I hate you” being reader and at the end of the poem Humanity I love you” is a poem that showcases the world we know today, in all of its glories and faults, on a sheet of paper. The poem challenges the reader, and causes one to take a deeper look into not only the poem, but society itself. This poem is one that should be read and thought about by
