this man abhors my very existence
because i have had intercourse with women to whom i was not married
because i sleep with men and let them fukk me up the ass
because i enjoy fukking men up the ass

this man cringes at the thought of my existence because
i create
i think on my own
i will not tolerate his ignorance

this man hates me because
i have the ability to see through his insecurities
i have the knowledge to know better
i question his authority

this man would rather i be dead
because then there would be one less person to question his ignorance
because there would be one less person telling people not to smoke
because there would be one less body for his cancer to kill

this man wants me silent because
i can speak loudly and people listen
i let people know about his insanity
i am against everything he stands for

because his ignorance goes beyond his state, it affects this entire country with it's cigarette-smoke-like permeation. he views creativity as a waste of money and tobacco as fodder for the machine. because if we get the children to smoke they will spend money that the tobacco industry needs to survive. because if we smoke we will require more and earlier health care and that will please the american medical association and they will be able to drive their mercedes and live in big homes and jack up the rent for all us artists who can barely afford to live in the places that motivate us most. because art does not perpetuate the economy unless it's the nineteen eighties and ronald regan is president and art is made for consumption and sales and not to make a difference. because if what one does not directly drive the capitalist machine towards more progress and growth then ones' existence is a waste. because art is not necessary. because art does nothing for anyone and it only wastes the tax payers money.

because

we don't need art because is does nothing for society

because the only kind of art we need is the stuff that stephen spielberg and walt disney make because it is good and does not affect our children and cause them to become rapist and murderers and drug addicts. this corporate art is good because it makes the machine grow and that is good. corporate art is important because we should all look and think the same and then everyone should be white because michael jackson is turning white

and

if everyone was white then the world would certainly be a better place
