Analysis of Nomad
They call me a nomad,
Because I move from country to country.
They say I have no home,
Because I don't own a house.
My home is my family.
My house are the walls
that surround the place where we live.
We all have a good education and lots of books.
Unlike nomads we have accumulated goods
Which we move from place to place to create our home.
Nevertheless our greatest treasure is our knowledge
Which cannot be destroyed by fire, wind, war
and cannot be stolen.
