Longing Of A Hungry Landless Poem by Elizabeth Padillo Olesen

Longing Of A Hungry Landless



Give me the field
to plant my food -
vegetable seeds
of all sorts.

Let the heaven
pour down the rain
to bless growth.

And should
the vegetable plants
sprout,
let us rejoice
that the land
can yield us food.
