The Selfless Farmer (2014)

◀ A woman said to the selfless farmer fair,

Much alike, you and I, in the burdens we bear.

◀ We both shed our garments, in dire plight,

Not by choice, but by necessity’s might.

◀ Our aim was to save others from harm,

Unaware of our struggle, calm and warm.

◀ I turned to this trade, selling my worth,

When my child lay hungry and ill on this earth.

◀ In your hands, old clothes met the flame,

In mine, honor burned for the clink of coin and shame.

◀ They took me, preaching with zealous spark,

They hailed you as a hero, the selfless mark.
