“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.

Sex without Love” by Sharon Olds,

In the poem “Sex without Love” by Sharon Olds, She describes Sex without love to be a desire of endless
feeling. I Believe sex and love are two different categories with very mix emotions. She takes the art of
sex and love and turns it into a poem with meaning. You could actually here her voice with angry in every
line.
Reading this poem has mad me wonder do people envy sex more love now. I ask myself that all the time. But to we honestly have that kind of live in this world today. I wish there was that love because I will like to find the perfect men out to there to love me for whom I am. Sharon Olds mention a very powerful statement in this poem which I do adore because she has a point why people chose sex over love more.
