.
It has been long since soil lost faith in man.
.
In an age when one sees no grain but only ensnaring nets,
poor birds, they still land on land in hope.
Another season has been added afresh now
to the list of seasons,
to take seize of the birds and the grain.
.
Innocent farmer!
He never knew any fable,
other than the birds flying away with the net.
To this new huntsman, however,
grain has been dearer than the farmer.

Farmer is a synonym for pledging and pawning.
.
When the familiar
“harrows”
and” funnels of a drill plough”
disappear from the tongue,
and unfamiliar terms and unheard relations
become tools,
the canopy looks in bewilderment!
With accursed future,
hybridized seeds,
and hissing machinery,
the backbone of this country
has now reduced to
a lone hapless wooden mast ravaged by termites.
.
As human relations get washed in dollars,
the farmer is weaned away from Nature,
to lean on her stead, the machine.
.
In her own interest,
and no longer trusting the nets
that snare man,
soil
and the Nature,
Time heralds:
The Earth needs freedom!
