Romany child victims of the holocaust<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

April 8th is the International Day of Roma, and the day we remember the Romany victims of the holocaust.Though thankfully things are not as bad today, there still is a lot of hatred against them, which has risen since the fall of communism.

All mankind, we walk the same road,
\nNo matter our colour of skin…
\nNo matter who or what we think we are…
\nWe are the same within.<\/p>\n

Some think themselves better than others,
\nAccording to traditions, or political schools,
\nThose who profess themselves\u00a0knowledgeable\u00a0in such issues
\nWill be proven by time to be but fools.<\/p>\n

But fools with power an be dangerous,
\nAs time has shown before,
\nWe can but pray for those whose lives were lost
\nPray it will happen no more.<\/p>\n

Settled, nomadic, it does not matter,
\nBoth sides peddle mistrust, the other side goad,
\nGod see’s, on death He judges each man,
\nAll men walk the same road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
