Answer: Though an international clean-up is needed, the solution is not as simple as cleaning laundry.
Explanation:
A paradox is a statement which might seem absurd at first, but turn out to have certain point. In literature, it is often used to make the reader think about a new idea.
In "Homework", Allen Ginsberg conveys the idea that many countries need a clean-up. In fact, he begins the poem by stating that he wants to wash Iran. The message the author wants to express is that there is a state of political and social unrest, which threatens our environment and nature. However, a clean-up is not a solution to this problem, as the situation is not that simple. Through suggesting an international clean-up, the author calls for his readers to pay attention to this problem, and think of a real-life solution to it.
