Ode to the Farmers April 3, 2009

The furrow divides the brown earth
Amidst the heavy thuds of the humongous beast of burden’s feet,
Waiting for the first drop of torrential rains
That quenches the thirst of both man and beast.
In the caverns of your heart
Dwells the indomitable spirit,
Fighting poverty by your steady stride
In the vast canvas of the sun-dried, rain-drench rice field,
Safeguarding the environment
Abused by man’s own greed,
His insatiable quest for 30 pieces of silver!
