                                    The Peasant


​Barefooted with fabric band
Around his waist tight
Holding wand in his hand 
Chanting in delight.
Yonder he is heading through
The parching belt of sand
Under hot a summer sun
with yoke of oxen band.
He is just a man robust 
With plough on shoulder wide
Be hot sun or season’s fun 
The peasant feels alright.
The custom comes down this age 
Of ploughs from hand to hand
They, for holding life always, 
been tilling patch of land.
