I see the greatest mind of my generation fall into societies cradle...
I see destruction, ignorance, narcism, hubris, filth, and cruelty...
Men and women who fight just to live, live to fight and enjoy their pain and suffering...
Innocents being tortured unmercifully...
drunks, druggies, lazy selfish human beings that just get through life instead of living, and yet living the life they think is great and fantastic until they hit rock bottom and finally realize what they have done to themselves and others around them...
I see hope, truth, loyalty, faith, grace, purity, and purpose...
Men and women fighting for our future...
Pure souls giving hope to those of us that are willing to help ourselves and others...
Thinkers, hard workers, and lovers of this world and those in it, trying to save this planet that we live on and every living soul and creature on it...
I see both good and bad in this world, societies political leaders are a joke, controlling us and showing us who we should be and what we should think is good for us. We were not meant to be manipulated and yet we allow ourselves to be so easily. It's a rarity now that you find someone fighting, alone, but with great heart. I hope to one day see this as less of a rarity and more of a common occurrence. This planet is dying along with us. We're killing ourselves but there is hope...
What you've offered is shorthand--an abbreviated version of what Ginsberg offers. You rely on abstractions (destruction, ignorance, etc.) rather than trying your hand at pointing to more specific examples of those abstractions.
