Essay content:
In this poem, however, "Speak Out!" by famous Beat Poet and painter, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, composed in March of 2003, Ferlinghetti is choosing to send his message in a very direct manner. His images cast indirect blame, but listen to whom he is really speaking to.
SPEAK OUT!
By Lawrence Ferlinghetti
And a vast paranoia sweeps across the land 1
And America turns the attack on its Twin Towers 2
Into the beginning of the Third World War 3
The war with the Third World 4
And the terrorists in Washington 5
Are shipping out the young men 6 To the killing fields again 7
And no one speaks 8
And they are rousting out 9
All the ones with turbans 10
And they are flushing out 11
All the strange immigrants 12
And they are shipping all the young men 13
To the killing fields again 14
And no one speaks 15
And when they come to round up 16
All the great writers and poets and painters 17
The National Endowment of the Arts of Complacency 18
Will not speak 19
While all the young men 20
Will be killing all the young men 21
In the killing fields again 22
So now is the time for you to speak 23
All you lovers of liberty 24
All you lovers of the pursuit of happiness 25
All you lovers and sleepers 26
Deep in your private dream 27
Now is the time for you to speak 28
O silent majority 29
Before they come for you! 30
Purpose:
Being 85 yrs old and having served in WW II as a ship's commander, Lawrence Ferlinghetti has experienced war first hand and as a result of expressing his opinions through poetry he became known as a poet in the beat generation ?
