HAPPY NATIONAL FARMER'S DAY!
TILLERS
Tillers are the Fillers,
Hunger pang healers!
Rolling under the pulverizing penury Rollers,
They feed the worldwide Rulers, Millers and Sellers!
But, alas, Tillers are the soft, easy and innocent preys,
Even if they radiate the Earth with their hard earned grain Rays,
By the honest sweat of their brows all moments, nights and days;
For, being the Victims of Exploitation is their only rewarded wage!
Then, who can mitigate the Tillers’ soundless and ever seething pain,
Who can clean their misery-stricken malnutrition drain,
Who can feel the inaudible beats of their crippled and anxious hearts,
And, who can, indeed, play under the Sun, their ever unplayable parts?
Then, when will our dormant society honour their honest labours,
When will our shrewd Minority cease showing to them the virtual favours,
When will our civilized Masses stop sucking the Earth's costliest blood donors,
And when will our Law Abiders end hoodwinking the Globe's legitimate Owners?
Alas! Only legions of lip assurances and oceans of pen compassions,
Can't be adequate enough for one of the most awaited permanent solutions!

ReplyDeleteHope, at least, after this difficult period is over, the farmers and group of labourers will be taken care for their health, daily sustenance, their family, education and overall progress in our great country. We can pray
now to achieve all these in nearer time without fail. Thank you, Shankar ji, your valuable poem may take a pride by holding a portion of the cover to remove it and make it available freely for this class also. Thank God. 👌👍😊🙌
