the dry fields


The dry padi fields
The hot weather rising
The irrigation canals dry up
The farmers watching helplessly

Nature has her methods
Caning the naughty child
Until the child learns his mistakes
Nature's wrath will come again

Praying will not help
The course of punishment to flow
This is the little hardship
The people must learn

We have to take care
The tenancy of our stay
We don't own it
We are tested on our ability
