A Thought To Need Poem by Shreyas Ashtamkar

A Thought To Need

Rating: 4.5


and many ‘because',

with a dependancy
on Nature,
A currency
of Torture,

Continuous hardwork
untill death,
job security - none,
and no respect,

In the richest country,
of all time,
but poor people,
a cold rhyme,

Fear embedded,
deep in veins,
not of no creatures,
but of no rain,

The rich lend money -
" Go! Live your life ",
and then too soon -
"Money back, or my knife! "

The rich climb richer
the poor stay true,
the rich demand higher,
reducing earth's crew,

but Suiciders' note -
"not the fearless crops,
or the innocent rain,
it's shameful me I quote "

unusual game of TDS,
find Truth & Dare to Share,
A vigorous break of bonds,
and tales to wear n' tear,

Not a want to want,
not a need to need,
not a need to want,
but a want to need,

A way to grow together,
A way to stand still,
A way to count pennies,
and basic needs to fulfil.

A need to save
the courage,
A need to storm,
the thought,

A need to save
some water,
A need to save
waste food,

A need to give respect,
A need to give a thank,
A need to want the farmers,
A need to want the need …

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
There's a story behind it. There surely is. As there is, behind every single other poem. This one, is about farmers.

After writing this poem, I want to thank the farmers, who have grown food for all my family, and the extended families, and I promise to keep doing something for you people in return too. I don't know why, farming is becoming a low - preferred job. You see? Even I don't want to work in a farm. But I want to make life a little easier for those who do. That's because, I figured out, that it's their energy, their hard work and their patience that I use, to do anything that I want to do right now. It's just that it's indirectly. I don't ask them to do my homework for me, but they give me food, which gives me the energy to do so. You know what I feel? A farmer deserves much more respect than what he is getting right now. He I the reason why you live. He is the ultimate source of everything. Don't let him die. Or you'll kill yourself too...
