RELIC
Million
years passed still exist,
Speechless,
an iron well resist,
Pointed
and tore the soil tilling,
Tip of
the plow wooden ring, (1)
Intoxicates
duet, bullock plays,
Plough
brings up life in essays,
Not
today or centuries ago,
Chained
human race never go, (2)
Savage
human lives predators,
Hunting
scope living travelers,
Moved
an ancient human well,
Continents,
islands, life to swell, (3)
Changed
an iron spike miracle,
Wooden
bases can till is simple,
Discovery,
that phenomenal tilt,
Agronomy
a reality nomad quit, (4)
Land
provides an immense gift,
Ancient
predators turn in discreet,
Docile
domicile, peasant settled,
Food
concept, plows, implanted, (5)
Once
raw flesh or fruits are roasted,
Granary
wheat rice corn tasted,
Bountiful
earth yet sustainable,
Bullock
pair the plow stable, (6)
Bullock
cart wheels revelation,
Ingenuity
human mind notion,
Lasted
millennium old vibrant,
Look at
the iron spike radiant, (7)
Tilling
soften hard soil to the soft earth,
Uproot
grass bushes to worth,
Lifting
rubbles and stones easier,
The
fields get ready for farming, (viii)
Visited
ancient the village home,
The mud
cottage with bamboo,
But
discovered paddy unknown,
Straw
packed into bundle turn, (9)
Bamboo
sticks tied to the straw,
The
cottage has a roof time saw,
Polished
with cow dung paste,
Miraculous
disinfectant, no waste, (10)
Cow
dung manure is versatile,
The
village withstood time hostile,
Watch
concrete jungles, asphalt,
Mechanized
humans, different past, (11)
Bullock
carts in front of houses,
Present
time shows cars dashes,
The
bullock carts easily transport,
Covered
thousand miles escort, (12)
Escorts
memories still exist,
Grateful
humans forget to persist,
No
toxic fumes, hazards speedy,
Time
has changed, mind if greedy, (13)
Thousands
die every day proud,
Rustic
village cartwheels loud,
Romanticism,
sleep, and travel,
Ring
bells bullock neck ravel, (14)
Sings
the relic stayed millennia,
Simple
human life tag insignia. (15)
