1. The poem is called Laughing heart, by Charles Bukowski.
2. Since this poem is emphasizing the idea of having you control your own life end live the way you want, I think its ironic that that a corporation would use this poem to advertise their merchandise, because they're using it to encourage people to buy their jeans. When the poem says, " Don't be clubbed into dank submission," its saying don't give in, or let people tell you how to live, yet this commercial is saying they should buy levi jeans.
3. Charles Bukowski had a very difficult life growing up with an abusive father, bullying, and a bad skin condition that made him feel left out. I feel that this poem was a sense of hope for Bukowski, from his troubled life this showed him that life can be dark but there is light somewhere.
4. The answers I got from one and three was from going back to my blog from last year and see my earlier post about The Laughing Heart.
