I love our world/the United Nations being multicultural...

Poem 217 of 230:  A MULTICULTURAL WORLD OF CARRYING

Rather than the newer rucksack,
   I prefer a shoulder-strap bag
To hold whatever kit I pack;
   But, on the cross-continents track,
I saw several other ways
   Of getting things there and/or back:

Sherpa's head-strap bags in Nepal;
   In India and in Kenya,
On head-pads, loads are carried tall;
   Bamboo loaded on either side
In China; or, in Mexico,
   Two poles to a backpack are tied.
