Array ( [sid] => 180622 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Shamelessly Ungrateful.... [time] => 2015-02-24 15:02:19 [hometext] => I just had to pen this after a foreigner receiving free medical off my tax money had only disapproval and complaints about the service food and staff. I could not help but explode and lay into him verbally [bodytext] => 24:02:2015....

Seriously I could just explode.
When a man is on a good road.
Yet he is shamelessly ungrateful.
For what he has, despicable!
And when you point out his error.
His reply rings through you with terror.
Terror for the poor homeless child in the street.
That doesn't have a mere crumb to eat.
And you hear this man complain.
About his food made of health grain.
I feel I could rip him limb from limb.
Or at the very least crack open his darn chin.
And hopefully knock some sense into his head.
And if not then leave him for dead.
For he is so undeserving,
Of his abundant daily serving!

Sounds a little prejudiced in the description. Assuming he's on welfare and what have you.

I know the feeling though. People go to the food industry expecting impeccable service, and complete and utter catering to THEIR opinion of fine service and food. I know it quite well actually. I've been working (effectively)at a QSR/Fast-food restaurant for the last eight years. Too often does someone belittle you for a job they see as unimportant or insignificant, not at all respecting you as another human being. Apparently that collared shirt/name tag/hat that you wear makes you nothing more than a filthy peasant, and despite being (a large portion of the time) in the same economic bracket, one easily sees that, and disregards their own "peasanthood" if you will.

About the poem and message, it's good to be able to express such emotion, rather than bottle it up and repress it, but a the very least, try to remember the size of the transgression, in efforts to mitigate some of the vile thoughts you have. Lol

This poem is undenyably amazing and powerful. A real thought-provoker.

Best,

Fox

Okay, I've re-read it, and I have to say, the author's notes just make me iffy about it feeling prejudiced in that sense alone, because of the reasons in which I messaged you of. I would say though, that the person himself is certainly dispicable in their opinion, especially if they feel so self-reightous that a mere child, or anyone else should eat from trash more so than they their self.

Also, a fun song lyric you might find funny.
"Sometimes, to free a mind
You have to crack the skull."
