A Thanksgiving Prayer

[slackercruster]

Oh look! Another self-hating liberal born before it was cool. Should have killed himself while he still had a chance. It's easy to be an angry cunt I guess. Too easy.

Nope, he loved guns!

A Thanksgiving Prayer - William S. Burroughs.

For John Dillinger
In hope he is still alive

Thanks for the wild turkey and the Passenger Pigeons,
destined to be shit out through wholesome American guts -

Thanks for a Continent to despoil and poison -

Thanks for Indians to provide a modicum of challenge and danger -

Thanks for vast herds of bison to kill and skin, leaving the carcass to rot -

Thanks for bounties on wolves and coyotes -

Thanks for the AMERICAN DREAM to vulgarize and falsify until the bare lies shine through -

Thanks for the KKK, for nigger-killing lawmen feeling their notches,
for decent church-going women with their mean, pinched, bitter, evil faces -

Thanks for "Kill a Queer for Christ" stickers -

Thanks for laboratory AIDS -

Thanks for Prohibition and the War Against Drugs -

Thanks for a country where nobody is allowed to mind his own business -

Thanks for a nation of finks -

Yes,

Thanks for all the memories... all right, let's see your arms...
You always were a headache and you always were a bore

Thanks for the last and greatest betrayal of the last and greatest of human dreams.

    P.P.S. One of the IIce Station Zebra challenges plunges you deep into William S. Burroughs.

Loved Burroughs! Got the same video at my website.

Brilliant man. Wonder what he would have been like with no drugs?
