Howl by Allen Ginsberg

“I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked…”

Walking through the thick woods I

franticly saw

unconcealed the

true naked form of myself best

described as a ugly mongrel awakening only hatred in peoples minds

I followed the trail of

fear and sorrow my

haunting had left me generations

of and destroyed

them by

dispelling my madness

and setting aside my starving

and hysterical

core at last I was no longer naked
