Analysis and comments on War Profit Litany by Allen Ginsberg

Comment 2 of 2, added on November 12th, 2006 at 8:00 AM.

yeah, I kind of agree with Corey. Yes, I like that Ginsberg wrote the poem
and the point of the poem, kudos to Ginsberg, but the way it was written (I
guess typical Ginsberg) leaves me unmoved aesthetically. To me it's not a
lovely poem or particularly clever??? I am sorry Ginsberg, who am I to
criticize. Maybe I'm just not smart enough to get the subtle nuances, but
sometimes I like it when the subtle nuances are obvious???

ok call me stupid or whatever but i did not get the point of this poem .I
guess he was naming all the states and what digusting things they have done
but somehow it didn't seem too genius to me...nice words used but...
