Excerpt

Know it: prosperity isn’t for

slaves, let them have a master

whether rich or beautiful;

know it: prosperity is only

meant for free people,

for us.

You’ll pass like us gypsies

sowing seeds of free men

and the scorn of any slavery

any slavery with any name

you’ll sow thus, because of you,

all the world will come near us.

And if you prefer to be armed

by discipline, health and

decorum, great for you, snow-white

splendorous brothers of ours

your race like ours, won’t

settle anywhere.

Let your passing, my white

brothers, be more melodious

than the gypsies; let

all mouths gape open

in awe for you, and let any

hand extend to grab each fake

diamond shining on you;

you will always stay aside

of all nations, even if you

side with them, they will

always stay away from you;

yet with us, oh blessed ones,

all the curses and all the scorn

the world will pass us by

like barbarians and rajahs.
