defend the poet

I kind of can agree with what Charles Bukowski is talking about in his poem, "Dinosauria, We" simply because he talks about how we are born into what we are going to become later on in life.  It almost goes with the pre-destination theory that says God already set in line what we're going to do in life before we are even born.  Charles Bukowski doesn't go in depth with the pre-destination theory, but he explains how if your family is well known and wealthy, most likely when you are born you will become successful as well.  If you are born impoverished and your parents live in a bad neighborhood, the child will most likely be influenced by such negativity and do what the people in the neighborhood do.  In the poem, Bukowski says, "Born like this, Into this, Into these carefully mad wars, Into the sight of broken factory windows of emptiness, Into bars where people no longer speak to each other, Into fist fights that end as shooting and knifings."  This direct quote from Bukowski's work tells me that this world has gradually and gradually become more violent as the years went on, and this violence is like a gas that our countries youth has been inhaling.  So overall, I think Charles Bukowski is trying to tell the reader that we should try and change the world from what is has become and make an attempt to enshrine quality into all individuals, and not just life with what is given to you.
