the rice fields

The rice fields
The yields of tonnes
The farmers try new methods
The short term gains

The stalks withstand chemicals spray
It is said to kill the pests stalking the rice stalks
The farmers try with bountiful success
The smile on the faces the encouraging results

Years later the pests mutate
The pests can withstand the chemical sprays
The pests begin to stalk the rice fields
Now the farmers really cry

They are counting their losses
The rice tonnes yield reduce
The farmers will face the hardship
The short term gains a long term misery

Don't play with nature
There is bound to be a payback
Now the pests are back
Seeking vengeance on the farmers
