Howl Allen Ginsberg with Nebuchadnezzar’s <br />Prideful Madness-Lycanthropic <br />For this generation’s minds lie bleeding and ravished <br />in the streets of the libertine-philosophic <br /> <br />Your angel-headed hipsters of darkness marshalling <br />the hollow-eyed masses to their graves. <br />Israfel softly sings his damnable odes in the classroom <br />and o’er the air-waves. <br /> <br />Two hundred million saxes wail false laments <br />like the butchered-truths of the painter Francis Bacon <br />But when one prays at the altar of Damien Hirst <br />(or de Payens) just Who and what has been forsaken?<br /><br />Daniel Partlow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/howl-allen-ginsberg/
