Thread Bare Gypsy Soul

There are a group of gypsies that live around these parts. Some of them live right down the road from me. These particular people are considered the root gypsies of the earth. People believe that they are descendants from the Jews when they left Egypt. They live in houses made of tarps, wood, or anything else they can get their hands on. Most of them make and sell iron tools. But they are also professional beggars. Every time I walk past them, they want my shoes, my hat, my shawl. They are a beautiful people with olive skin and brown eyes. If you could be lifting up these people. Next month I have some friends coming from home and we hope to be able to work with these people.
