Save the farmer
the only one
to breathe the earth
what is dirt to you
is to him a treasure.
Save him who alone values water
what carries waste for you
is to him the elixir.
Save the farmer
who still beseeches the clouds
what is to the rest of the world a nuisance
is to him the divine manna from heaven.
Save the farmer
spend more on farm produce
let him send his children to school
let his wife too have some leisure
let him also breathe easy.
Save the farmer
for he alone is the care taker of the morrow
the atlas who holds afloat the what we flaunt so casually
break his back
to be broken in due course.
PS: Why so insensitive to farmers? At what cost?
