The poem describes humanity as twisted within their souls, deceptive within their hearts, greedy within their lives, and faithless like rebels without a cause. It portrays people as plotting in darkness and unknown goals, bursting dreams into flames for enjoyment, weaving lies and avoiding truth, undermining others to further their own success, and removing humanity just because. The poem suggests people do harmful things to each other and themselves for no real reason other than their own selfish desires.
