My Shame for Being Human

Jacob Arensus on Feb 10, 2011

A poem I wrote, originally intended to be the first stanza of a song – 2011.

It’s hard,

Understanding the system,

Society’s seemingly invisible rules of

Tradition

Constantly,

People (like you) blindly following

The bounds and foundations built by

No government’s ambition

It’s punishment,

Simply being human,

Imprisoned by the nature of the masses

To ruin everything

Around us

It’s beyond embarrassment, shame,

And frustration

It’s disastrous
