Answer 2

The correct answers are "Raga of insignificance & blessed hopelessness" and "The greatest men have gone unknown."

The two lines that Bob Kaufman uses to show alienation and isolation in modern society are: "Raga of insignificance & blessed hopelessness" and "The greatest men have gone unknown."

We are referring to the poem "Unanimity Has Been Achieved, Not a Dot Less for its Accidentalness," written by Bob Kaufman. In this renown piece of poetry, Bob Kaufman mentions some problems that poor people who live in larger cities encounter. The author assumes the first person in the poem to reflect the social problems poor people have in urban cities to create an impact on the reader. Kaufman wants the reader to "awaken" a do something regarding this situation. He describes some injustices and wishes people to condemn those injustices. He wishes for a more equal society and a reduction of the suffering of poor people.
