An Open Letter to the University

An Open Letter to the University

I'm finishing my 4th year at university. In the 4 years I've been here I've learnt nothing from what you've given me, a little from what I've stolen. (You give from your arse, I've stolen from your mouth.) Thank Christ I've resisted your efforts to pervert my mind. All your teaching has managed to do is waste my time.

I've learnt to hate the crass obscenity of your myopic corruption. You will have to learn to give us what we want and what we need. That is no request for compromise and concessions, but a demand for complete reforming according to our needs.

If you won't help in the building, together, of a new world, our patience will swiftly dissipate. Waiting and frustration is slowly giving way to anger and violent impatience.

If you won't give us what we need to create an alive future for man, rather than continue our acceleration toward oblivion, be warned, (the time will come when)

  • we'll smash you!
  • we'll smash you!
  • we'll smash you!
