This statement is not
verifiable if true, because it
excludes any method of verification
that would lead to saying it
is true or false in any objective
way.

If not intended to be true or false,
it can at best be poetic or simply
emotive.

You may also find it amusing to
compare it to the well known paradox
"This sentence is false."
Think about it carefully.
It is false if true,
and true if false.
