Pity the Nation | Lawrence Ferlinghetti | After Khalil Gibran

"Pity the Nation: A Poem for Our Time" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti is a poignant and powerful piece reflecting on the state of America and its moral and social decline. Drawing inspiration from Khalil Gibran's work of the same title, Ferlinghetti's poem laments the loss of values, the rise of materialism, and the erosion of civil liberties. With a tone of both sorrow and indignation, the poet criticizes the nation's leaders, the apathy of its citizens, and the pervasive influence of consumer culture. Through vivid imagery and compelling language, Ferlinghetti calls for a return to justice, compassion, and true democratic ideals, making the poem a resonant commentary on contemporary society.
