Letters from the Desk of the Human Resources Director-Part 4 of 5
To: The Director of Human Resources
From:Head of the Superpower Section-World Police Section,
Earth Division
Cc: Head of the Zion Section-The Section of the Chosen Ones,
Earth Division
Head of the Terrorist Section-Suicide Bomb Squad Section,
Earth Division
Dear Sir,
On behalf of the people and administration of the Superpower Section
I would like to protest your letter to Mr. Adam, our division head
Your letter has put forth very heavy accusations
That may not necessarily apply to our section
We have been helping other sections overcome their problems
We have injected money and material to disaster-struck sections
And to help them build or rebuild
And in return, we only ask them to repay the loan, with interest of course
But when disaster strikes our section,
Who is there to help us?
All the other sections sympathize with our plight
But none help us in any significant manner
We have helped the division by maintaining peace
We are the policeman walking the beat
Because there are a lot of madmen in the other sections
And a madman will always resort to terrorism
We have dealt a destructive blow to the madman
He is a madman; therefore he is also a terrorist
And since he is a terrorist, logically he would be a madman
He is a madman….he is a madman…… he is a madman…. he is a madman
Tell me now, Director of Human Resources
Have we done anything contrary to the rules and regulations?
Yours truly,
Head of the Superpower Section-World Police Section, Earth Division
