THE FARMER



Day after day the field is ploughed,
the farmers wait for raining cloud.
In undulating ground and tilled soil,
the hungry farmers sweat and toil.

Their food of onion and stale rice,
is ration purchased at cheaper price.
They till and toil - what happens after?
The traders cheat - an unpleasant chapter.

The poor have no use of law,
crushed under the rich man's paw.
Work and survive from day to night,
is their sole aim, their only fight.
