Dim the hope , bleak appears the future
in every grain of the field’s harvest
rests the destiny of poor .
while the ones who had
a silver spoon
hardly noticed the worth of a grain…
a morsel was all… for a day,
while the couple sleeps
under the leaking roof
of the shelter
with a noise of
roaring stomach
in emptiness .
One who grows the crop
for millions
feeds
whose stock
the children of everyone…
he has the glass
full of water
until the morning sun dawns
and he toils again till
his last measure.
The irony of life
tonnes of food
being thrown in spills
as leftovers ,
in garbages,
while the farmer
remains famished .

Such a cruel reality..!
Yes Neeraj and often people forget or never realize this.
I agree, a very sad reality, Soumyav, but powerfully expressed..
Thanks Lauren for sharing your view too.
Sad reality. It pinches the heart when we see farmers being robbed of their livelihood to a decent life, owing to corrupt middle men and lack of Government actions. You’ve touched a chord and force us to think on their plight when they take heavy loans for their crops.
It has been such since years, I wonder why the govt doesnt ask the corporate sectors to adopt farming for its growth n consistent output. It should be excluded from the from normal loan procedures and should be advantageous for farmers.
Corporate must invest and give fillip to poor farmers struggling at every end. I agree. There is a lack of political initiative and its sad.
Your words ring with a genuine truth that is so real in our times. We can only pray it changes, wonderful write!
Thank you Wendell for sharing your view. Ya, times have changed and so has the realization and value of things.
