Thanksgiving Prayer
by William S Burroughs
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 forChrist" stickers.
Thanks for laboratory AIDS.
Thanks for Prohibition and the
war against drugs.
Thanks for a country where
nobody's allowed to mind there
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.
