Stay Put

"Gone are the days, when I used to smile,

Talking to my dear cattle, ahh... Bliss.

Hey friend, tell me, what do I do now?

With my land and animals washed away,

And nothing left for me til and sow,

Why should I even live? I am doomed...

Hey friend, tell me, what do I do now?"

 

"My dear brother listen, I empathize,

It's not easy to lose one's land,

But being a farmer, can we give up?

Aren't we supposed to til and start again?

Get back to feet and work like never,

You will reap the fruits of labour

And experience nature's blessings".
