2. The use of this poem by a corporation is ironic, because the entire poem is about being your own person and not " letting your life be clubbed into dank submission" when the commercial itself is trying to convince you to consume their product. This contradicts the poem itself. If a person were to purchase this item it could be considered a form of submission.
3. The spirit of this poem does not reflect the author, because this poem is about freedom and Bukowski had a reputation for being involved in Nazi activity. This however has not been proven. He was also known as a drunk who did not take care of himself or his own life. This is another contradiction.
4. My main source for this research was the internet. I typed in a few lines from the poem to find the author. Then I googled the author to learn more about his previous works, and what kind of person he was.
