Just checked the link ~ amazing, I had no idea!
The Ginsberg piece is so sad, so depressingly descriptive also:
Moloch whose eyes are a thousand blind windows! Moloch whose skyscrapers stand in the long streets like endless Jehovahs! Moloch whose factories dream and croak in the fog! Moloch whose smoke-stacks and antennae crown the cities!
.....
Moloch! Moloch! Robot apartments! invisible suburbs! skeleton treasuries! blind capitals! demonic industries! spectral nations! invincible madhouses! granite cocks! monstrous bombs!It reminds me of this song, 'Mad World' ~ if you haven't heard it, I think you'll see why ~ this is the Adam Lambert version:
