O Chi Shugra, beautiful Gypsy lady Do you have Chauvis, or are you a woman alone As a Gawajie should you converse with me Or would you consider me as Kurchi On your travels where have you been And what have you seen O will you Dukkerin the tarot cards for me For I want to know if I will marry a beautiful Gypsy lady I Rocker a little Pooker For I am a trustworthy Mush I would be savvy happy if you would dine with me For there would be no dead'uns on the table with thee If you were to marry me you would still be a beautiful Gypsy lady And for you I would travel the world round I would sleep by a Yog on the ground and round And you my beautiful Gipsy lady would live in the finest Vardo We would have a strong Beast of a Vanna For you I would learn to tell you sweet poems in Pogadi, Chib or Angloromani I know you suffer institutional racist sentiment which is socially unacceptable As gipsies stop at a town the local landlord finds that their money is acceptable O beautiful Gypsy lady my love for you is growing For I will live by the gipsy laws so you will be all-knowing. This poem I have written using quite a few Gipsy words is to bring to light the fact that Gipsies are a distinct ethnic group that speaks a different dialect and that my blood runs with Gypsy DNA For my Grandad was a travelling bare-knuckle fighting Gypsy, Also its a disgrace the fact that equality act of 2010 you mustn't be discriminated against because of your race, If you're a Gypsy or traveller, you must be protected against discrimination. Discrimination which is against the equality act is unlawful. But every day in this country the government, the police and councils are breaking their own law by moving Gipsies and travellers on from place to place giving them no peace to rest. I remember some of the Gipsy words my Grandad spoke but I did have to do quite a bit of hard in-depth research to get the Gipsy words of this poem correct so please forgive me if I have made a small mistake or two, please be kind and research the Gipsy language and if you like the poem please be kind with your feedback for the research took me a long time Jaybird has kindly pointed out that I used 3 different spellings of Gipsy that's because all 3 spellings are acceptable and commonly used Kind Regards to all of you Michael

I have a mental health illness and I was a inpatient in a private secure mental health hospital not because i was a danger to the public but because i myself was the only person who was in danger from me was myself and that will reflect in my poetry...
