the servers' reaction to gypsies (Free verse) by ~incarnate~
I could hear them in the kitchen
Even the dizzy buzzing of servers passing by
Some bumping, others screaming, all crazy
Still I could hear them come
Like the roar of a hurricane over a bees nest
Their voice and tone different
Interest growing in my mind a sect I have not met
Begging attention in the crowded âgrande roomâ
All of a sudden no one wanted to serve the table
âTo serve is your job isnât it?
What is different in these girls
That you refuse to let them eat?â
âCanât you see theyâre gypsies
They steal your money, man
I am not standing around one of them
Iâve made too much tonight
to lose it to some thief! And guess what
they commit incest too to a higher degreeâ.
you'd think they had communicative leprosy
Now tell me this, are you in their mind?
Do you see - omnipotent - what they do at night?
A stupid claim you have professed
In my eyes you are now less
Because you did not deem it fit
To serve someone you blindly condemn
Iâve got to leave this freaking place
They are so close minded
But then I hope I am not too
Am I? Could I? Would I?
