A L M S Poem by Sathya Narayana

Every generation has rebelled and today's reformation is the totality of all these historical protests. There were really land lords who took care of their working labour class but when history is written, we forget them. Oasis was also there. We have a general feeling that the working labour class was always totally ignorned by the elate class. This is not true. Within human nature, everything is possible - this way and that way. So, I don't wish to see such things only in a pre-defined way. Good land lords also were there. We can trace our own family history for an evidence.

Very meaningful...touching the picture is so vivd the dark side of labor...expressed unfair labor practice... if in lateral, the donkey or any farm animal too can never complain... this is an an awakening piece...and this is really happening, not only in your place but here in our country also. Its nice you made a poem out of this....showing your care and concern the dark side of labor... and if there's a poem like this then its possible there will b e a poem on the positive side..as there is happy and dark poetry.....

a wonderful poem. nice flow. a compassionate mind voted10 surya

This is a most perceptive poem, Sathya about the powerlessness of the proletariat. I suppose one of the reasons unions came into being was to fight collectively for the rights that workers are incapable of demanding alone. Your final couplet expresses it perfectly. A well thought out and composed poem. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

a marvelous write with a very deep and good message indeed bhayya, well from reading and re-reading this marvelous piece I came to understand that, no matter how hard we work we earn only what we are destined to get....i might be wrong, but it surely is a great write....thanks many 10'sssss as always rgds asif

I saw the comparison of animal and man at a level of earning which is bare subsitance. The donkey continues its toil for whatever nurturing its owner affords, the owner his toil for whatever nurturing compassion rewards. Your a wordsmith who fashions poems for whatever alms your inner motivation rewards. I drew much from this, thanks for sharing.

An excellent write Sathya....you bring out the tragic conditions under which labour is forced to work so eloquently - the last stanza is particularly touching....10
