I'm Ashamed
I'm ashamed
I'm ashamed of my weight
my teeth
my complexion
my income
my work place
my apartment building
Our treatment of other countries like Iraq and Afghanistan
Our bullies who never get the punishment they deserve
The way we treat gays and lesbians
The way we treat the elderly
The way we treat the students and college students in this country
The massive debt of college loans and national debt
The litterbugs
The people who yell
The people who don't visit their parents
People on cell phones in public
Potholes
Roundabouts on the street
Walmart and the treatment of their workers
President Obama and the rest since I have been born
The drug laws
Our prison system
Drones
Bottled water
Music after the 80's
I'm ashamed of my weight
my teeth
my complexion
my income
my work place
my apartment building
Our treatment of other countries like Iraq and Afghanistan
Our bullies who never get the punishment they deserve
The way we treat gays and lesbians
The way we treat the elderly
The way we treat the students and college students in this country
The massive debt of college loans and national debt
The litterbugs
The people who yell
The people who don't visit their parents
People on cell phones in public
Potholes
Roundabouts on the street
Walmart and the treatment of their workers
President Obama and the rest since I have been born
The drug laws
Our prison system
Drones
Bottled water
Music after the 80's

About this poem:
There is a huge list of things, these are just a few that came to mind. I remember how heartbroken I was when I found out that Milli Vanilli didn't sing their own songs. I really believed in them.Poems entered on these pages are copyrighted by the authors who entered them. They cannot be reproduced without the author's written consent. © Copyright 2001-2024.

I can relate to most of what you write here...
It feels like you need a hug
I hope in some small way it makes you feel a bit better
Thank you for sharing

You forgot the gun culture but I agree with most of the others. I have to say though I'm guilty of using a mobile phone in public. What an idea for a challenge..."what we are ashamed of." Cheers mate.
Thanks for sharing I'm Ashamed with us outlining so many things that may need improvement. As life requires balance and each yin seeks its complementary yang, what's left but to change those things over which one does have some control, and, to find the list of things in which one has pride.
