Link Link Link The Rivers. Poem by gnrao rao

Respect and recognition
Are to be given to
the farmers and villagers
Who work whole day
in the muddy fields
in the hot sun and
severe climate
to produce rice
And wheat
to be available
on the dinner table
as lunch and dinner.
Hero-worship
of cine actors and
actresses and
the sports people
Especially
the cirketeers
is more prevalent
Here in India.
Wet fields run dry,
cattle cannot get Feed.
people with thirst
Walk miles to get even
drinking water.
Perennial rivers
with 24/7
have plenty of water
which can be linked
if Every real sincere
Indian feels for his
brethren to share
at least this water.
Agriculture is the
Back-bone of India.
Industries are good
but without food to eat,
water to drink
What can be produced? ? ?
Dams, rivers, ponds, lakes
even small streams
will satisfy a small
community as well
as a vast area.
Let the people
get food and water,
Let the cattle
too get fodder and water,
Let all living things
live happily
by the grace of God
And the people
with magnanimous heart
to help and assist.
