Shades of Ginsberg, certainly. There were some nice 'howl' lines. As a European I hope that America's trajectory is a warning to us lot ... but those protesting are slowly being hammered hard back into the dust of the voiceless.
Orwell and Huxley were compulsory reading for me at school in the late-1960s-early-70s. Instead of being a warning, now they seem to be used as an operational manual.
A straightforward look at the current state of affairs here in the States not unsympathetic to truth yet nostalgic for an America that perhaps once was ( it's early ). A sort of diagnosis ( it's early, as I said )

Very much Ginsberg inspired and totally agree, we live in Orwellian times and still it happens, even though most of us read the book

So true Huxley was a genius I read these people to. The government are basically using the rule book
What we see in our country certainly makes us all want to howl like that, good job.
I hear echoes of Ginsburg in this poem. Thinking back to his time and mine, how ironic how little has changed.
He understood
Very much inspired by Ginsberg

Very well done, thank you. With appreciation.
