Ayub:
You reap what you sow, says so holy men!
Ramesh:
Hmm...methinks too...that's what the scriptures say
but why Ayub bro, what makes you ponder?
Ayub:
Hey, look at this field of ripening corn.
Was this how it looked a few months ago?
Beloved field…barren like a bald eagle
RAMESH:
Seems today my brother's turned Socrates
AYUB:
We may be poor unlettered shepherds
But that doesn't mean we've less brains
RAMESH:
No ways dear, but come to the point will ye?
Pray, what's on your mind---penny for your thoughts
AYUB:
Muslim, I ; Hindu, you ; yet brothers us.
We graze, we raise children, we praise good deeds
RAMESH:
Good begets good, bad begets bad ___karma!
