Tribute To The Farmer Poem by Srivishnu Rentala

The indifferent smell of dung and dry grass
may not be so pleasing and high-classed
Yet it excels the scent of smoke
that makes many people cough and choke.

The Villagers live cherishable lives
unlike the city people who curse and groan.
Peace, satisfaction and merriness thrives
in the neighbourhood where greed is unknown.

They're always seen working hard in the field
trying to get an extraordinary yield.
For it is they who give us the day's boost
with the help of the crops they have produced.

The Villagers brave the warm waves of heat;
ploughing the field and mixing manure.
They ask for some rest, a seat or a treat
only when they make sure that the crop is mature.

Rice, Maize, Millet and Wheat
along with plentiful veggies like beet.
They grow all the greens that are very nutritious
which help in making our food so delicious.

It's time we pay tribute to the people
who work so hard everyday
Don't ever think that their work is mere
it is only because of them we are here today.
