Surrender of Cornwallis

de Jim 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 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.
