Farmer 11 - let The People Eat Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

Farmer 11 - let The People Eat

Rating: 5.0


The farmers till the land from dawn,
They plough the vast fields till dusk,
They sweat in burning heat of summer,
They work, work, even in cold winter,
Toil, toil, till their bones ache, break,
Till last breath, they cuddle the earth,
They sacrifice, to let the people eat! ! !

Yes ma'am we live only because they gave it to us. The fruit of their toil. Life for many soul. The picture is mesmerizing snd alluring. I'm pulled to pen one for them. Beautiful ma'am.

Excellent poem, Geeta. Without farmers, most of the rest of the human race would cease to exist.
