A Farmer’s Utter Cry
A Farmer’s Utter Cry
Of the four, three including
The oldest brother left home,
Settled down in the big city,
Purchased flats in the town
Adjacent to their village,
The eldest ‘s son owned a factory
Bought fertile land in the village
With farmer uncle’s help
The second brother highly interested
In the cultivation, farming became
Efficient farmer, confines to
Village culture, managing
The ancestral land, couldn’t
Make separate property on
His or family ‘s name,
Followed well to do life for years
The families of the three rich
Brothers , after very long period
Became aware of the legitimate
And traditional share, forced
Farmer brother to divide
The land and the house into
Four equal shares, sparing
Nothing for henceforth becoming
Poor farmer due to the division
