Rise! Rise! O Farmers!
Raise your voice!
Reinstate your claim for the land you own,
Rejuvenate your life with courage and might.
Fear not! O Farmers! The land belongs to you!
For you have sweated it out, in heat and in cold,
For you have tilled the land, day in and day out,
Fight for your rights with unity and strength!
Ride in joy!
Ride in your bullock cart with pride,
Redress all your grievances,
Rewarded you will be by the benevolent Mother Earth.
I have to revisit this poem to put the same in my Poem List. Farmers will always occupy a soft spot in my heart. May these Farmers have the courage to stand and raise their voices for the good of their children and children 's children.
Awesome poem on farmers. Indeed very motivating. The poet in her poem has given hopes to the poor farmers who deserves, the fruit of their hard work.
Very kind and sublime words expressed to recall the tremendous contribution being made by our farmers towards this great country. Their plight too needs to be addressed and redressed by the policy makers. Thanks for this lovely poem wafting the fragrance of a folk song all around.
An excellent motivational piece of poetry with a great inbuilt message! I liked the second stanza most. Top star

A powerful and uplifting poem. Farmers must have a land of their own in order to be productive and could sustain the basic needs of their family. Government must support farmers by giving access to the land they till through ownership. A great poem well presented and conveyed. Top Marks! I hope I can come back and put in my Poem List, if such feature, will be available again.
