ADMIRABLE THE BUILDER

 

ADMIRABLE THE BUILDER

The dawn breaks cruel summer,
Blistering heat, the Sun's torture,
Empty roads, life confined well,
The brick kiln, mortar, pain nail, (1)

A turban, bare feet, and chest, life,
Facing countless obstacles, strife,
A loaf of bread, rice water, fries,
Onion and salt under a tree tries, (2)

Satiated the hunger with petty income,
Mud cottage, thatched roof, home,
A straw mat, windowless, no fans,
Wooden kitchen, earthen pot one, (3)

Cities, the picture changed, shanty,
Dirt road, shabby dress, kid plenty,
The boundary of hunger diseases,
The dawn breaks, happiness misses, (4)

The high-rise tower highway bridge,
The laborer's hard toil urban tease,
They boast park hospitals, pleasure,
They know a trip to nature, leisure, (5)

Health, wealth, and romantic life grow,
Some humans serve, not show,
The wall partition raises a question,
For whom freedom, liberty, treason, (6)

Salute to the builder of the nation,
Salute to peasants, a lot of emotion,
They feed, a bountiful harvest, usher,
Spine of our land strengths assure, (7)

No honor, award, gold, or jewelry,
Love you, the builder laborer, silvery,
Love men and women and be selfless,
Love the farmers, granary impresses. (viii)
