[ZESTPoets] Re: Husha Husha We All Fall Down

Loved the poem Husha Husha We All Fall Down.. Poets should unite against the blind force of capitalism. I cant help sounding like Marx, but I think a cultural movement of some sort is required to release our culture from the stifling clutch of capitalism. I was reminded of Allen Ginsberg's Howl.. where he deplores the Moloch of Capitalism devouring the culture of an entire nation. Poets, the unacknowledged legislators of the world, play a very important role in shaping the sensibility of a society. But unless and until they lead from the front like the beat poets did, a cultural movement as I see it, is not possible.
Ankur.
