an example for you to follow


john sweet




i came to this country
hundreds of years ago
to butcher the indians
and steal their land
and eat their bleeding meat
by a campfire
under a million unnmaed stars

i came to enslave everybody
and invent the atomic bomb
and agent orange
and to raise a generation
of screaming crack babies

i came to rape helpless children
and bury them in autumn fields

i came to produce color movies
and top forty albums
and to build monuments
to myself

i came to burn witches
and to shoot senior citizens
at ponderosas everywhere

i came to be a freeway killer
and cult leader
and to eat the hearts out of
screaming angel-faced virgins

i came to drop acid
and smoke pot
and beat my wife every friday
night

i came to set an example
for you to follow
