Thanksgiving Prayer
 
"Thanksgiving Prayer" by William Burroughs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I31hQ8TrT5M

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
carcasses to rot.

Thanks for bounties on wolves
and coyotes.

Thanks for the American dream,
To vulgarize and to falsify until
the bare lies shine through.

Thanks for the KKK.

For nigger-killin' lawmen,
feelin' their notches.

For decent church-goin' 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's allowed to mind the
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.

America is evil. Americans are generally good people. The truest crime of American history, is the ability of a few wicked and vile people to control the minds of the masses, and perpetrate the great evils of American history, which shall remain unnamed at this time, be we all know of them well..

Americans rise up from your sleep and slumber, praise the Savior in true love of all humanity, for He is a good lover of Mankind, and makes it to rain upon the wicked and the just alike...

I am thankful that there are still millions and billions of bright souls left in the world, to do spiritual battle against the forces of evil and apathy which plague the earth with selfish destruction and sufferation!

burroughs is a rad american.
many of the US people who post here are rad too.
i hate to say things in general, i've always hated that 'burn all americans' type of hype.
so whats on the average american? or the average bulgarian, kosovar, englishman, etc.
i don't even have the sweet opportunity to curse on US president.

PS but you people should've given Ron Paul a chance.

Yeah, letting American megacorporations define foreign policy is a great idea.

Also an outdated policy to the economy.

The smallest fucking province in the Russian Empire, that's what! So don't call us cunts, you tea-swilling-lady-men. If it wasn't for us, you'd all be speaking German! Singing "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles...”


Hahahah are you serious?!

I hope not.. I wonder if he realizes that a good deal of the current American government is NAZI influenced? Right down to german speaking police dogs!

Danny Himself 11.27.2008 02:18 PM

Same. At first I thought he was being ironic, but then it got past the point of no return when he got to talking about the Russian Empire (???)..

weren't we only a few votes away from being a german speaking country when this country was founded?

edit: i was wrong. it was just some german settlers wanting german text in some newspapers that got voted down. damn high school german class for their lies.
