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.

Where did you hear that Burroughs fucked dead little boys?? I'm not saying it's definitely not true, but I have never ever read or heard about anything like that. Perhaps you're thinking of Ginsberg? I don't think even Ginsberg fucked dead boys, though.

As for his heroin addiction, how can you dislike him because of a personal habit that he had?

I don't hold his heroin addiction against him, but that William Tell stunt he pulled with his wife is pretty unforgiveable.

I can't really judge the man, as i'v never met him, however, i did read his book Naked Lunch. It was a well written poetic, fictional book. The entire contents of which were about shooting heroine, and fucking pre-pubesant boys.
I don't judge him for his addiction to heroin. The book was horrible. I had to stop 3/4 of the way through.
I don't know how this guy is considered some kind of hippie icon. He would fit in OTD well.

His wife was just as responsible, wouldn't you say? Anyway, it was an accident.

cut-up writing method
that exposes the madness
of a junkie's mind
including deep dark desires and paranoia
and his descent into pure hell.
