America by Allen Ginsberg

I am choosing this poem because I like the way that it is written. The author writes this poem as a stream of consciousness. I like the fact that the persona of the poem is the writer of the poem, to me it makes it more believable. As a reader I feel like you have insight into what his mind is thinking, doing, and producing. I also think that this poem has wisdom because he seems to be watching the television and talking about all the things he sees on the news. All the negative aspects of America and how we need to make it a better country. I also think that this poem is very poignant because it moves along very well and the reader follows his train of thought rather easily. This poem is one that also opens up the eyes of the people that read it because you are getting someones view of the world and their opinions, which could be negative or positive regarding a person, place, or act. This poet seems to push their opinion rather strongly through their work.
