A Village's Story Comments

Really an insightful rendition in verse with rhythmic splendour.

But those poor farmers are never given enough credit they deserve. Their life is like a gamble. If the weather and the market are favourable they get enough to pull on. Otherwise they are left to shambles. An apt tribute to farmers that reflects an empathetic attitude to the neglect they suffer.

But don't forget, the lamps they lit And their hard work to fill up our tummy's pit. This poem has much relevance in the days of Lockdown when the world economy is collapsing and everyone is forced to find his own sustenance. 'Back to the soil' is a slogan heard aloud in these days! Our farmers' hard toil alone provides the world with the food we need.

They are better than us, of course. Thanks for insight.
