Farmers Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Drenched in sweat
A life of toil
Placed at their feet
You reap what you sow
Written in their hearts
Servants of humanity
Hope is their daily bread
A prayer for all times
Farming is a passion
Not for the short-sighted
Not for the weak at heart
Not for the lazy
Farmers are the guardians of hope
Farmers are the unsung heroes
Fully armed
With magazines of seeds
Farmers are the elite soldiers
Always fighting
The war against poverty
