I Am Waiting by Lawrence Ferlinghetti

i think this poem is about religion specially Christianity. he speaks about rebirth the second coming, christians believe that the second coming is when jesus come back to earth and that is when our lives end or we go to eternal life with God which he also speaks about. i think his looking back and comparing it to what america is now. his probably comparing it when jesus was here and to now. the writer is expressing his thoughts and feelings to the reader. he wants everyone to really know america.. he wants others to discover how powerful america could be and how lost it could also be
