Howl by Allen Ginsberg
The poem “Howl” is looking at a few different things, such as, Ginsberg’s good old days and psychopathic friends, alcoholics and the rest. Ginsberg also mentions friend from psychiatric hospital whom Ginsberg is trying to illustrate as a victim, or, innocent or what so ever he means by using the world “lamb”.
As I understand Ginsberg is an addict and a left winger who lives in the heart of the capitalist world which makes the life far more difficult for him to live.
Obviously as an addict he should have had lots of terrible trips and hallucinations in which he imaging the facade of a hotel as a beast that eat his friends.
So far I believe none of these are strange or new to the world we live in. We all have memories of the pleasant past, good friends that we have missed and so on. However, the world we live in never been fair or nice to every one of us especially if we have a different point of view on things like the political systems or ideology in which makes the things far difficult to digest.
My final conclusion is that; Ginsberg is talking about the pains of life that people have been experiencing since the beginning of man’s existence in his poems stretching from addictions to betrayals, pain to non satisfying sacrifices. Ultimately, Ginsberg is describing life from his eyes.
