The Grain Drain

Underneath rays He prays For abundant wealth For good health and immense strength Armour of paddy fields With sickle, he wields With fortitude, he shields Awaiting the annual yields Amidst terraces, the farmers toil Incessantly burning the midnight oil Knowingly ignoring the painful boil  I rise from flooded soil He sinks in debt coil   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
