Shame – A Luxury

“Shame is a luxury” 

Said a movie character

Come to think of it

It’s indeed true

One’s feeling of shame 

Dictated mostly by society

And some in that society

Cannot afford to feel ashamed, yet

A society that pounces –

On the vulnerable & misfortunate ones

That does nothing to

Alleviate their situations

It’s the society

That should be ashamed
