MINIMALISM (April 8, Int. Roma Day)

 

History has proven that

Some cultural groups must flee

In order to survive, one needs

The stability of a country

If Nomadic, it is always wise

To think of portability

Carrying a backpack crammed with necessities

Is part of being Romani (Gypsy)

At least for me
