CREDO
BOOL you sanforized people.
you with TIME on your hands and LIFE on your ipana consciences.
you who hate NEGROES JEWS CATHOLICS NEIGHBORS VIRGINS POETRY TAXES
& ANYTHING ELSE THAT LACKS UTILITY.
you who hid JESUS with other old easter eggs and beat your kids
when they couldn't find HIM,
you who believe absolutely every word of scripture tv commercials
the reader s digest dale carnegie billy graham and popular songs
run on to your sleazy heaven and check the trade in on halos for me_
in case I can't find a flannel suit to match my SOUL.
Larry McMurtry
Let me alone, Let me alone. Let me alone. Let
me alone, Let me alone. Let me alone. Let me
alone. Let me alone. Let me alone. Let me alone.
Let me alone let me alone let me alone let me
alone let me alone let me alone let me alone
let me alone let me alone let me alone let me
alone letmealone letmealone letmealone
letmealone letmealoneletmealone. LET ME ALONE.
Keep your meathook bilduke plumber's helper
rubbergloves out of my immortal ganglions, you
stinking skincrawling fathog cannibal
sonsofultimatebitches.
Grover Lewis
I wish my name were Jean Louis instead of Jehn Lewis because
then I would be free. I am not free here: but I do try to be ur-
American, I am not a Communist, though-,But I would rather be a
Communist than a Southerner, which does not say very much: I would
rather be anything than a Southerner. You have no culture; you have
but one tradition (as the Groovy One says) and that is a lack of tra
dition. You have smokestacks without fireplaces. Your children think
English is a foriegn language, If I was un-American I could have
married Francoise Sagan. I have nothing against American women, bu
they can't believe that's what they are: they think they are men.
You have ruined them: you have told them they should- be equal with
men, You did not tell them to remain different at the same time,
though. Your women are afraid of love: they have been taught that
virginity is a virtue, which it is---but not after mar-iageL So
they are all out to prove you wrong. And they are doing itL And
they are doing it! And I hate your guts for that Nathan Leopold
got sick to-his stomach when he was sprung: and you are afraid to
spring Caryl Chessman: he is a genius. You think it's smart for yo
ministers to knock Negroes: to knock their (and YOUR) brothers. You
think PEANUTS is something to eat; Jean Paul Sartre is a pimp, for
all you know. You are afraid of Moloch, and your guts stink because
of it. There is a stench rising out of "The Cradle of Democracy".,
John Lewis
