Ginsberg

Detroit has built a million automobiles of rubber trees and phantoms
but I walk, I walk, and the Orient walks with me, and all Africa walks
and sooner or later North America will walk

...

I am not interested in preventing Asia from being Asia
and the governments of Russia and Asia will rise and fall but Asia and
Russia will not fall
the government of America also will fall but how can America fall
I doubt if anyone will ever fall anymore except governments
fortunately all the governments will fall
the only ones which won't fall are the good ones
and the good ones don't yet exist.

- Excerpts from Allen Ginsberg's "Death To Van Gogh's Ear!" 1958
