The Boy Is To Go To Village



Where did you want to live? In village.
Village?
Now you ought to live where had grown up from infancy
What do you know that will keep you alive in village?
To live, in simple words, you have to eat something. To eat its food
Need money for that food. You recall the agri-soceity
once upon a time? When nobody was in town then,
the era there were no town on the earth you come to remember
that era?
Seems in a way also in village
could survive still today? But what you have learnt,
that lesson can’t
give you shelter nowhere but only in town
Your livelihood born nowhere but in town

Why should you leave town?
Isn’t fresh air is there?
Doesn’t sun rise everyday there?
Rise. Night purging there
aren’t stars in sky visible in your eye-sight?
Visible. Yet you
to go to village? You move how fast there
how fast you easily treated if boundless in death

What’s your problem in town? Have to do office regularly?
Everyday to the office rising of sleep?
Again have to back to home after office?
What’s the problem at these.
Do you think there’s no regular practice in village?
Aren’t all the people there living alive
doing tasks relentless?
Aren’t they also to the field in morning to market in morning
to other working places in morning?
Have to. Have to,
have to do jobs
if to live eating and wearing. On this earth
you can get money only in exchange of job
and only money can assure you food
Then?
to live in village
you also ought to work regularly
as to do
in that town.

Yet why do you want to go to village?
