“America” by Allen Ginsberg

“America” by Allen Ginsberg is how his life in America was. He express his feeling toward America in the poem has good scent of humor that supposes to be tragedy. Everything I read so far seem like if you don’t have or know the way to survive in America, America will crush you. For example, when he said…”America when will we end the human war... so fuck yourself with your atom bomb”. That statement alone tells you that Americans hates each other by race, ethic, and culture. America is a place of freedom of speech, right! So why do we still live in a world that has a lot of racism and hate. I understand why he telling Americas to go blow up themselves. . The poem is both serious and humorous because he tells you how America is seen and put at same time. We live in a world where people judge each other and don’t care anymore about what they do. He turned a poem with so many meaning on how he see America and make it to a voice of honesty and hated. The poem do assault are fellow American to the point why all these racial humor. In America, people seem to not care.
