Chapter 7
My name is called Harry, and I have knowledge of all
things, because I am smart, and do not try to fool myself with a lot of
nonsense about ideals and beliefs.
2 And truly, this is good news for you, because
the things that I know are no secret, but have been written down many times
before, and have even been taught you your whole life, although you cannot
see the forest because your eyes are so full of trees.
3 Now I ask you to pluck the trees from your eyes,
and behold the forest, which will give you a vision of paradise.
4 Let me give you an example of what I mean. You
have heard this recently deceased child cry out against the land of the
Americans with great irritation. He has seen that the Americans commit
genocide against their own black people and their own native population
and against the yellow peoples of Southeast Asia,
5 And he therefore believes that the Americans
are evil. And more than this, he concludes that that the American evil
surpasses the evil of all other peoples and all other nations, all over
the world.
6 This is a great tree that has become stuck in
your eyes, which I conclude from the fact that fully a third of your number
are wearing the flag of the world's Most Chosen Nation on your buttocks...
Chapter 9
For the tree that is stuck in your eyes is a great stupid
tree, and you look at it and think that it fills the whole universe with
evil, and that no other tree has ever grown so tall and burned the eyes
so viciously.
2 And truly this tree burns your eyes with a fire
like napalm, so that you think you cannot stand it.
3 And you beat your breasts and say, I can never
grow used to this tree, and I can never eat of its fruit or climb its branches,
because it is an evil tree,
4 And so I will sit far away from the tree, and
I will do everything possible to show that I am not of this tree, and think
that its fruit is poison, and that its branches should be climbed only
by criminals.
5 More than this, you say, I will do everything
differently from what is done by the criminals who climb the branches of
this tree.
6 I will not wear the clothes that they wear,
7 And I will not consume the things that they consume,
8 And I will not eat the things that they like,
9 And I will do everything there is to do differently
from the criminals of the tree,
10 Including not wash,
11 And not shave,
12 And not brush my teeth,
13 And not launder my clothes,
14 Or any other thing that is like what the criminals
do.
Chapter 10
And now I, Harry, ask you, What does this accomplish?
2 The answer is that it makes you smell bad,
3 So that you stink like a bunch of animals,
4 And the very air around you is foul-smelling
and unclean,
5 And that is all that it accomplishes.
6 It does not end genocide,
7 And it will not shame the nature of the tree,
8 Or shame the criminals who climb the branches
of the tree,
9 Because they will merely laugh at you and hold
their nose,
10 Which is understandable,
11 Since you are all dirty indeed,
12 And you are also stupid,
13 Which helps nothing and no one,
14 Least of all, you.
