read this poem please :D?

The Beep Beep Poem:

i should write a poem
but there's almost nothing
that hasn't been said
and said and said
beautifully, ugly, blandly
excitingly
stay in school
make love not war
death to all tyrants
where have all the flowers gone
and don't they understand at kent state
the troopers will shoot . . . again

i could write a poem
because i love walking
in the rain
and the solace of my naked
body in a tub of water
cleanliness may not be next
to godliness but it sure feels
good

i wrote a poem
for my father but it was so constant
i burned it up
he hates change
and i'm baffled by sameness
-Nikki Giovanni

What do you think this is about or referring to? Any ideas! Please be specific and lengthy.

I love the good ol' U.S.A.!!2010-03-09T13:55:51Z
