A Poem for Thanksgiving -- inspired by William Burroughs

Fuck Thanksgiving. 

Fuck the mythical "God" created by a destructive humanity. 

And fuck white people for what they did to the red and brown people. 

And fuck humanity for the cruelty and destruction it's doing to the other species of the planet and to the planet itself. 

And fuck eating that genetically fed and modified turkey. 

And oh fuck me.

Happy fucking Thanksgiving

William Burroughs: A Thanksgiving Prayer

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.

Happy  Armistice Day
November 11, 2014

Fuck the military and war -- I feel sad for veterans that put their life on the line to protect a neo-liberal proto-fascist corporate state, and to keep the 1% happily ensconced in their mansions and driving their Ferraris while the soldier's family have to apply for food stamps while they are deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The leadership in this country couldn't give a shit about those people who "defend" them -- they create an economic environment that forces poor people to join the military as they have no other choice -- then when they are discharged they treat them like shit.

And what really pisses me off are all the Baby Boomer Generation fake patriots who never served or even considering serving or would want their kids to serve who then drool all over the military, are the loudest singers of the National Anthem and God Bless America @ the ballgames, but turn their backs on them when they sitting on the street homeless and suffering PTSD.

So contrary to everyone else I say fuck the military and fuck war. And rather than thanking the veterans I say do something more for them than that or shut the  fuckup.

Let the shit storm begin.

Well the mid-term elections just happened. And we know how that went -- the slow rolling neo-liberal corporatist coup is nearly complete. The Koch Brothers and their venal brethren own Congress, the Supreme Court, most of the state legislatures and the governorships. And own even most of the presidency given Obama's record. 

So @ this point I don't give a fuck anymore -- the country's filled with fucking ignorant morons who have no clue to where they fit in history. They have no understanding how fucked they are cascading down to their kids and their future generations.

The Koch Brother has everyone sucking Koch, the Supreme Court is sealing our doom and the morons are sticking Koch covered broomsticks up their own asses.

Yup let's kill everything -- our children, the other species on the planet, and the fucking planet itself. 

So I'm done.  Going forward I'll cheer grimly every stupid decision that marches humanity that much closer to global calamity. I have enough wine stocked up so I can just drink myself into oblivion when the time is right -- and who knows, it might be sooner than we think. 

Ayn Rand said once, "It's not me who will die, it's the world that will." So who gives a fuck? All these right wing ignorant morons must think the same until I guess they really get to witness the death of the planet. There will be no Rapture. Just death. And good for them. 

Wine anyone?
