Hmm I think your piece isn't quite getting the point of the contest. It's supposed to have a different meaning when you read it backwards, not just have the same meaning with a different order. Take a look at the example provided in the contest description. It's harder than it looks to do properly.

Simple example with different meanings forward and backwards:

is the meaning of life
to serve GOD
and that's it?
you only live once,
I hear
so
GET YOUR PARTY ON

    It might do well in the contest, but I was just providing an example that conveyed the sort of ideas you seemed to be going for. If I joined I would write something more divisive, hahaha. 🦍
