A Prophecy is that Ginsberg sees America as dominated by Molech, which is roughly equivalent to Urizen. Molech is mentioned in the Old Testament as a god who demanded child sacrifices from believers. To Blake, Abraham's substitution of the ram for his son Isaac as a sacrifice represents the end of the reign of Molech in Hebraic culture. For Ginsberg, Molech is a god of destruction and oppression, who destroys America's children with the "death" of materialism and war.
Although Ginsberg's Molech is seen as the military-industrial complex which destroys the children of America, this must not be confused with America itself. Molech reigns in America just as Urizen reigns in Blake's Generative world, but the world itself has the potential for salvation, for freedom from these evil forces. When Ginsberg speaks to, or becomes, America, he is treating America as an entity with a soul, pointing out the corrosive evils which control and envelop her. Ginsberg makes a clear distinction between the "Satanic State" and the soul of America which it poisons and oppresses.
In America revolution is implicit in Ginsberg's prophetic stance as denunciator and advocate of change. The last line of the poem when seen in our Blakean light becomes a promise by the poet that he will be working for revolutionary liberation of America's soul.
America I'm putting my queer shoulder to the wheel.
Aside from the subversion of a mainstream..........
