<br/> <br/>: :+:+: My Gypsy Ways: :+:+: <br/> <br/>Folks look at us with scorn in their eyes <br/>They would be surprised if they realized <br/>  <br/>A gypsy tribe's life is meant to be free <br/>From town to town proud travelers are we <br/>  <br/>Our history is too diverse to understand <br/>We love everything concerning God's land <br/>  <br/>Mother Earth is our blessed and sacred ground <br/>We make good use of her herbs that we've found <br/>  <br/>We tell fortunes by reading special leaves <br/>People come to consult because they believe <br/>  <br/>We spread excitement and fun as we roam <br/>No matter where we are, we make it our home <br/>  <br/>We sell hand-made articles as we happily go <br/>Dressed as gypsies from our heads to our toes <br/>   <br/>By our handicrafts we share our culture and pride <br/>In peace through the years we've learnt to abide <br/>  <br/>If you see a group of gypsies passing by <br/>We are humans like you under God's blue sky   <br/>         copyright©2006Irene   <br/>      : :+:+: : :+:+: : :+:+: <br/>              Note: <br/>     Gypsies are an amazing people!   <br/>They are he only group of people living in every corner <br/>of the earth without the benefits <br/>of power, money, armies, or ever fighting a war. <br/>Wherever you travel – <br/>to the plains of Hungary, <br/>the steppes of Siberia, the gates of Marakesh, <br/>the highlands of Guatemala, <br/>from the frozen tundra of Alaska – <br/>everywhere you'll find Gypsies. <br/>They are always on the move and have an <br/>ever abiding need for freedom and independence. <br/>Where did they come from? <br/>Some believe they are the last survivors of Atlantis. <br/>Others suggest that their ancestors are <br/>the people of the biblical town of Babel. <br/>To the gypsies it does not matter. <br/>They quickly learn the language of their host country, <br/>but no government and no monarch has been able <br/>to break the Gypsy's spirit – <br/>Not with gifts of land and seed and <br/>Not with brutal persecution. <br/>Gypsies have a deep and abiding respect for creation – <br/>for Mother Earth, and for life everywhere, in all its variety. <br/>  <br/>  <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>  <br/></strong></font> <br/><span class=   Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades
