Mr Farmer Poem by Han Min Ohn

Mr Farmer



Mr Farmer plant the crops, to feed himself being the primary purpose
He sold the extra to others, buying back things he needed for support
When he sold his crops the price was always kept at bottom low
Under the excuse that raising food price can prevent poor people grow.

Being able to do nothing Mr Farmer sell the crops at the price he could get
And he bought back the utensils he needed for the next crops to plant
The price of these utensils were getting higher and higher each year
Under the context of rising workers’ wage and fuel prices in every corner.

Being lured by the word ‘Rising wage’, Mr Farmer soon changed his job
And became a factory worker to get a wage that would be of support
Though life in this aspect could be said a little more ease
He still found that it only covered the most basic of his needs.

In this manner Mr Farmer worked as a factory worker for years
His ‘Rising wage’ climbing the wall like a snail hurrying upstairs
Their wage always being kept at a bottom low every single year
Under the context of attracting investment from every possible corner.
