It was just – 8 February – another anniversary of the death of the Gypsy poet Papusha, who died out in 1987 after a dramatic life, cursed by the Gypsies. She was beaten and even threatened to die. The elders recognized her as a traitor to Gypsy for being able to read, write, and that she had approached the non-gypsy community. But the uniqueness of Papusa against the background of her fellow brothers was enormous.

Here is 1 of her poems, how fitting for the tragedy of our present:

The Georgias match everything

You can't look at the rubble,

The ruins of war tell us.

Georgia, reddish bricks,

How many soldiers did they kill,

how many mothers and tiny children

You choked, burning

Like dry wood!

The rubble is cursed!

You all look like tears,

All wounds to the hearts!

Whoever sees you is afraid of war,

'cause she's got her eyes full again today.

Georgia by war left to us,

many houses like a silver fairy tale

All right, you're on.

People, as houses build tall,

They take brick by brick from ruins,

They carry them advanced like birds.

And our fresh homes,

as beautiful as silver,

they're made of rubble.

(translated by Jerzy Ficowski)

The pope undoubtedly wrote about the rubble in post-war Poland, and present how they are associated with the ruins of Ukrainian cities or Gaza. . Our planet is turning into a immense rubble, and we don't know how far its boundaries will reach...? They do not respect God, nor the 5th commandment. . These wars have no end, and everyone on this lost planet is the children of the Sun Father and the Moon Mother... And they haven't seen it yet?????
