Which lines best reveal lawrence ferlinghetti's troubled view of modern american society?
to the oracle at delphi
by lawrence ferlinghetti (excerpt)

and how to survive our own rulers
who would make a plutocracy of our democracy
in the great divide
between the rich and the poor
in whom walt whitman heard america singing
