America, I've Given You All & Now I'm Nothing (2017)

In 1956, famous American poet Allen Ginsberg wrote the poem America where he discusses in true beauty and craft his love hate relationship with his country.

America has and will always be one of my favorite poems. It's the poem that introduced me to Allen's writing and the rest of the beats. I know I can't reincarnate the true mantra and prose that Ginsberg so delicately employed, but that's expected and I'm not trying to do so. I'm just putting my 2017 spin on it, wondering and hoping I'm not alone.

With the detrimental obstacles that lie ahead of us, both near and distant futures, I hope we can all find some solace through the art of writing.
