American poet
If Ginsberg writes of Jack
-or other, as "Master"
Then begging:
- "Shove penis inside me
-want to feel its hardness,
-then rotate its thick head,
-of which is no threat,
-nor dread! "
Talks of it as "friend" …
If he gives the sizes
-of the cock, and anus
If writes "Howl"
-breath-long being lines
He is known as poet
-and wins the Pulitzer
But those who write of care
-or feelings; having sense
-absorbing others' pains
-when droned countries
-Africans and Muslims
They are just,
- "the worthless"! ! !

I would like to translate this poem
Ginsberg and Kerouac were both tortured souls. For both of them to have accomplished as much as they had, speaks volumes. Ginsberg's Howl is far more than just crude sexual overtones. It's an anthem. For not just one generation. But two! And both writers absorbed others' pains far more than the average person. And had the guts to write about it! ! !
I am grateful for such a beautiful comment. Richard...many do not know of the other side of the poet and poets and you are one of the few to know them.
