Hum Bom! by Allen Ginsberg

Who is the bomb
is America the bomb
we dropped
the bomb
does that make us
great
what does that
make us
ask those
who aren’t
alive
the children
dead insides
splattered
outwards

you tell me
in this global
conspiracy
for world
dominatrix
matrix-me
why
do
we drop
these fiery
bombing
dragon infernos

why why why
why

why

why?
