Does anyone know any good poems for belonging that I could use as a related text?

Look at some of Bruce Dawe's poetry, in particular poems like "Americanized", which portrays how affiliation to a culture can bring about a loss of identity, due to humanity's nature to conform to society.

I used Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" for belonging/not belonging

It's pretty long but has some quite quotable lines to it.
