"America" is a poem by Allen Ginsberg, written in 1956 while he was in Berkeley, California. Ugh. Everybody must have been a spy.America you don’t really want to go to war.Them Russians them Russians and them Chinamen.
And them Russians.The Russia wants to eat us alive. Him make Indians learn read. Her make us all work sixteen hours a day. Him need big black niggers. Businessmen are serious. Hah.
Why poetry is necessary and sought after during crises.Cookouts, fireworks, and history lessons recounted in poems, articles, and audio.The mid-century countercultural poets who helped define a generation.One of the most respected Beat writers and acclaimed American poets of his generation, Allen Ginsberg was born on June 3, 1926 in Newark, New Jersey and raised in nearby Paterson, the son of an English teacher and Russian expatriate. Help.America this is the impression I get from looking in the television set.It’s true I don’t want to join the Army or turn lathes in precision parts factories, I’m nearsighted and psychopathic anyway.America I’m putting my queer shoulder to the wheel.Poems of Protest, Resistance, and Empowerment. America by Allen Ginsberg America I've given you all and now I'm nothing. Everybody’s serious but me.I’d better consider my national resources.My national resources consist of two joints of marijuana millions of genitals an unpublishable private literature that jetplanes 1400 miles an hour and twentyfive-thousand mental institutions.I say nothing about my prisons nor the millions of underprivileged who live in my flowerpots under the light of five hundred suns.I have abolished the whorehouses of France, Tangiers is the next to go.My ambition is to be President despite the fact that I’m a Catholic.America how can I write a holy litany in your silly mood?I will continue like Henry Ford my strophes are as individual as his automobiles more so they’re all different sexes.America I will sell you strophes $2500 apiece $500 down on your old strophe.America when I was seven momma took me to Communist Cell meetings they sold us garbanzos a handful per ticket a ticket costs a nickel and the speeches were free everybody was angelic and sentimental about the workers it was all so sincere you have no idea what a good thing the party was in 1835 Scott Nearing was a grand old man a real mensch Mother Bloor the Silk-strikers’ Ewig-Weibliche made me cry I once saw the Yiddish orator Israel Amter plain.
Ginsberg’s early life was marked...America I’ve given you all and now I’m nothing.America two dollars and twentyseven cents January 17, 1956.I won’t write my poem till I’m in my right mind.When will you look at yourself through the grave?When will you be worthy of your million Trotskyites?America why are your libraries full of tears?America when will you send your eggs to India?When can I go into the supermarket and buy what I need with my good looks?America after all it is you and I who are perfect not the next world.There must be some other way to settle this argument.Burroughs is in Tangiers I don’t think he’ll come back it’s sinister.Are you being sinister or is this some form of practical joke?America stop pushing I know what I’m doing.I haven’t read the newspapers for months, everyday somebody goes on trial for murder.America I feel sentimental about the Wobblies.America I used to be a communist when I was a kid I’m not sorry.I sit in my house for days on end and stare at the roses in the closet.When I go to Chinatown I get drunk and never get laid.My mind is made up there’s going to be trouble.My psychoanalyst thinks I’m perfectly right.I have mystical visions and cosmic vibrations.America I still haven’t told you what you did to Uncle Max after he came over from Russia.Are you going to let your emotional life be run by Time Magazine?Its cover stares at me every time I slink past the corner candystore.I read it in the basement of the Berkeley Public Library.It’s always telling me about responsibility. I can't stand my own mind. The Russia’s power mad. America two dollars and twentyseven cents January 17, 1956. She wants to take our cars from out our garages.Her wants to grab Chicago. Movie producers are serious. Her needs a Red.That no good.
