... Walt Whitman discusses this in his poem “I Hear America Singing”. ... ”
Whitman chooses to use music, a major part of American popular culture, as a substitute for happiness in this poem. ... Allen Ginsberg outlined this idea in his poem “America”:
“America stop pushing I know what I’m doing…
America I used to be a communist when I was a kid I’m not sorry…
[America]’s always telling me about responsibility…
[America] has abolished the whorehouses of France. ... ”
This poem was written in the mid 20th century, and Ginsberg’s idea of America pushing its weight around is still a plausible argument.
