Long Description: The image is a text-based artwork on a yellow background with slightly rounded corners. The title "PITY THE NATION" is displayed prominently at the top in bold, all-caps black letters. Below it, in parentheses and in a smaller italic font, is the attribution "(After Khalil Gibran)." The text is a poem by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, written in a typewriter-style font. It conveys a critique and lamentation about a nation's people being misled by leaders and losing their rights and culture. The poem is centered on the page, with Ferlinghetti's name at the bottom in italicized white script.

“Pity The Nation”
Pity the nation whose people are sheep …. And acclaim the bully as hero And aims to rule the world With force and by torture … Pity ~ who allow their rights to erode and their freedoms to be washed away
My country, tears of thee Sweet land of #liberty!

I've been to City Lights nearly twenty times, and it never stops inspiring me. There's a magic in those shelves, in the silence between the pages. Ferlinghetti’s poetry? I absolutely adore it — raw, luminous, unforgettable.

Pity the nation whose breath is money
and sleeps the sleep of the too well fed.
Pity the nation — oh, pity the people who allow their rights to erode,
and their freedoms to be washed away.
My country, tears of thee, sweet land of liberty. #Ferlinghetti #democracymatters

#Ferlinghetti (1960): "Some half-ass poet had invented... an imaginary Villon story of lost youth... to fill in the facts nobody knew and which I myself did not remember, adding a narrative voice which was supposed to be myself but was some kind of fourth-person-singular voice I did not recognize.."
