“I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed…”                                        -Allen Ginsberg No. He didn’t. He helped mediocrities self-destruct Through formless howlings in their lonely minds He pushed them to their deaths with obscene smirks No more connected than foul faeces flung Against the good, the beautiful, the true He pitied himself, and called it rebellion He squealed out his pimply scatologies He destroyed the weaklings he could have helped The best minds of his generation pitied him But kept their children far away from it
