Philippine Carabao Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

anna-daataa, a Sanskrit word meaning the giver (daataa) of food (anna) . It refers to God metaphorically, but a farmer is the real anna-daataa. well said.

A wonderful short work as always you produce! Appreciated and admired..........10+++++++

A farmer is the person who ploughs the firld and grows food for us. a great tribute to the farmers.

Works even on rainy days has to be respected Well done Rose

Philippine Red Bull... really is the best loyalty friend to the hard working farmer, even the families can get their income from its fresh milk and diary productions, which is Low Calorie Fruity Energy Drink, we hope with the poet not to be abused.10+ and into my treasure chest

Abused services of men and animals. only profit is their motive. tony

Farmer has plenty of friends right from earthworms to bullocks but there a twist in the poem that their services are abused.... May be bullocks with overload of work..... Who knows expect the poet. The poet may clarify our doubt... Anyway the poem is awesome to read with its in-depth meaning...

This is again animal abuse. In the Netherlands animals may not be abused, there is a party that prevent these actions. Eventhough a farmer's best friend, but this is in the Philippines. In Indonesia, these animals are working in all hours till they drop dead in some cases. I can still remember Indonesian citizens do not care about these animals. An excellent poem that reveals the animal abuse through services abused.I have become very sad.
