I never knew Google had a "Translate to Allen Ginsberg" option.

It doesn't. By definition, translation should not add meaning, just preserve the original. It is not possible to turn an arbitrary text into poetry by any mechanical means.
A poem by Ginsberg or any other good poet is the densest medium of communication. The message may be a bit ambiguous, but the mean rate of reception is still high: You tend to love it or hate it.

I can't tell if you're joking. If you're being serious, though, I think you took my comment too literally. :)
