Letter to Allen Ginsberg
Where are you Ginsberg?
Your voice alone can woe me,
Your words are just more to consume,
I don’t know you.
Before this I centrally would have never heard you,
Ginsberg, I’m enchanted by you,
You speak of sex, lust, and weed,
That’s all I need.
You don’t know me,
Yet you feel what I feel,
Lost in a world so terribly big.
The second hand smoker.
The bi-stander,
The on looker.
I’m not a fighter and a cowardly lover,
You Ginsberg speak the truth.
Your words of honest bright eyes,
I wish to see your eyes,
In this world of pure text, and hate,
What would you say?
What would you write?
Would you write?
Lust is at it’s peak here,
Where Mother Nature is always angry,
Casting out hands of disaster.
Ginsberg was this your muse?
The world of unknowns and predictable,
The love of pain,
America of lies,
Consumers of sex, lust, and weed.
We haven’t changed,
We haven’t learned,
I’m stuck just as you,
A war to my left, my people to the south,
How do we stop it?
How do you move on?
More weed, poetry, and coffee?
For I sit in this café and see nothing more,
Couples of disaster,
Who look into each other’s eyes,
And see right through each other.
Girls of ambitions of rising against the machine,
But to shy to order more sugar.
Men who are boys and hold cigarettes,
But never blow smoke.
They’re a joke,
The words they tell are a joke,
Where are the Ginsberg’s?
Why is there no truth?
Pressure and gravity working against us,
Our art is died,
Squished by the men with the bullets,
Those who seek fame rather history,
Our America was yours, still the same to me,
No difference,
Only that your gone.
So I’ll drink my tea,
Hoping you would appear at this empty seat,
I’d talk to you of today,
How little it is,
The shit that I was told.
I imagine you,
Inhale, your exhale,
Your voice that would intoxicate my ears,
For if you speak of pain I feel,
Of lost I mourn,
Of love I fall,
Of America I loath,
Of you I dream.
Ginsberg you do this to me
Your verses, words, and punctuation,
Here it is for you,
Admire, truth, and honesty,
Just bring the weed.
