Adam's COmplaint by denise Levertov
This poem that was created during the Vietnam war expresses anti-war frustrations. It takes a person who symbolizes the government and says how they can never be satisfied with no matter how much you give them. In the Vietnam war, the government kept drafting more and more men, and they kept fighting more and more battles when it was evident that nothing was helping. It can also relate to the amount of money the government was getting out of the war. They got so much money but never seemed satisfied with the amount they received.
