What significance does the repetition of the word raga have in this excerpt from "Unanimity Has Been Achieved, Not a Dot Less for Its Accidentalness" by Bob Kaufman?
Raga of lip, raga of brass, raga of ultimate come with yesterday,
raga of a
parched tongue-walked lip, raga of yellow, raga of
mellow, raga of
new, raga of old, raga of blue, raga of gold, raga of air
spinning into
itself
AIt serves as a musical and rhythmic component that connects key ideas in the poem.
BIt represents a spiritual force the speaker believes everyone shares.
CIt signifies the recurring injustices that the US government performs on society.
DIt is the aesthetic force used to connect concepts such as "yellow," "gold," and "blue."
