I Am Ashamed

Society is what we made of it.

I am ashamed
Of two things
I am ashamed
Of you and of me

I am ashamed
Of two things
That we have lived to be
Part of this society

I am disgusted
With us all
We lived to die
to our downfall

I am disgusted
With us all
Anxious bodies
Ready to brawl

I am humiliated
To see this is
Our selves fighting
Over useless s**t

I am humiliated
To see this is
Judgement and discrimination
Is how we live

I am horrified
Of all of us
The way we are
Truth under the dust

I am horrified
Of all of us
We've battered each other away
It's all useless

I am saddened
To see this unfold
We had a future
It's all untold

I am saddened
To see this unfold
We had a hope
Written in gold

I am ashamed
Of one thing
I am ashamed
Of this society.

Very mature and beautiful writing

Nicely written I like the layout you choose, however I'm not really a fan of profanity in poems they seem to weaken the writing when a better word could be used to me anyways. Good poem though :).
