I'm an old man now, and a lonesome man in kansas / but not afraid / to speak my lonesomeness in a car, / because not only my lonesomeness / it's ours, all over america, / o tender fellows --/ & spoken lonesomeness is prophecy / in the moon 100 years ago or in / the middle of kansas now.

More From Allen Ginsberg

There was just one moon. that familiar, yellow, solitary moon. the same moon that silently floated over fields of pampas grass, the moon that rose--a gleaming, round saucer--over the calm surface of lakes, that tranquilly beamed down on the rooftops of fast-asleep houses. the same moon that brought the high tide to shore, that softly shone on the fur of animals and enveloped and protected travelers at night. the moon that, as a crescent, shaved slivers from the soul--or, as a new moon, silently bathed the earth in its own loneliness. that moon.
Loneliness Animal Moon
And when the sun rises we are afraid it might not remain when the sun sets we are afraid it might not rise in the morning when our stomachs are full we are afraid of indigestion when our stomachs are empty we are afraid we may never eat again when we are loved we are afraid love will vanish when we are alone we are afraid love will never return and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed but when we are silent we are still afraid so it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive
Hope Morning Fear
Lonesome. lonesome. i know what it means. here all by my lonesome, dreaming empty dreams. weary. weary at the close of day, wondering if tomorrow brings me joy or sorrow.

Somehow this madness must cease. we must stop now. i speak as a child of god and brother to the suffering poor of vietnam. i speak for those whose land is being laid waste, whose homes are being destroyed, whose culture is being subverted. i speak for the poor in america who are paying the double price of smashed hopes at home and death and corruption in vietnam. i speak as a citizen of the world, for the world as it stands aghast at the path we have taken. i speak as an american to the leaders of my own nation. the great initiative in this war is ours. the initiative to stop it must be ours.
