Sustenance

From a small patch of land too so much can be had Wheat, rice, pulses, sugarcane vegetables, leaves, saag, salad wheat-bran, husk, fodder, manure He who falls in love with the grain is to run amok forever dream or reality, nothing matters unable to eat, but a few morsels dances in a frenzy and runs around wild For the sake of unending hunger, grow more to make your motherland proud Drink the tears, even if humiliated bear the pain, learn to live with the sorrows Imported from far-off lands Honey, cheese, crackers, coffee Jellies, jams, compounds, ketchups Mulberries, Tuna meat eat everything, eat all Global-citizen, they happen to be famished, naked, dying of thirst bloody politics, pale economy rescinding ages, rising stocks tears, sighs, woes and bruises From a small patch of land too so much can be had! !
