THE WAR PRAYER – Mark Twain

A Thanksgiving prayer from William S. Burroughs

Like those lovely churchgoers in Twain’s piece…no matter how many times you hear that second prayer and no matter how many ways it has been presented to you from well before Jesus Christ to well after Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr…as soon as the second sermon is done and the messenger departs the church, you return to the barbarism.

In the present case, you vote for it!!!

God bless and keep us all.

We gonna need it.

Repent!!!

(The real meaning of “Wake the fuck up.”)

Amen.
