VILLAGE LIFE

 

VILLAGE LIFE

 

 

Infinitesimal aspiration lack lust,

Rustic humans work hard a must,

Accustomed to the vagary of weather,

Cultivation of their culture enamor, (1)

 

Green fields village pond cottage,

Dusty road connect thank amaze,

The creepers, vegetables, flowers,

Backyard deep well bath showers, (2)

 

Cattle, straws collected, a sight,

Patch of vegetable leaves delight,

Potato, tomato, green chili, grows,

Onion, garlic, and cucumber shows, (3)

 

A jackfruit inlet to home curries,

The fresh banana plate is leaf hurries,

Wooden hearth silver bowls plate,

Mustard oil cooking aroma wait, (4)

 

Spices village home cook reminder,

Urban life is different taste wonder,

Fish from ponds or rivers are plentiful,

Hens innumerable eggs tasteful, (5)

 

Milk, corn, fried rice, milk product,

Villager leads lives at minimum cost,

In the village square, there are trees,

Tea shop, wooden bench precise, (6)

 

Place of gossip life enjoys evening,

Back home home late night thing,

Rest peasants sleep no fan beds,

A mattress, oil lamp, life threads, (7)

 

No way, inferior to urban life,

Village festival community sway,

The bond variety of cakes sweet,

Symbol of the people exists neat, (viii)

 

Look at the beauty of the village sight,

The cow herd evening sight right,

Dust glows behind cows, bells ring,

Distant hills, nearby river string, (9)

 

Schoolchildren play on the ground,

Headmaster personality sound,

Respected by villagers to advise,

At night darkness thick reminisce, (10)

 

The utter silence and peace present,

Left village life to city lot resent,

Job forced many of us to leave sad,

The noise pollution city is like mad. (11)
