In spring the seeds are sown

and for each grain planted

many are harvested; no land

is left uncultivated; yet still

so many farmers die of hunger;

working with their tools

under the hottest sun,

their sweat drips down

and mingles with the earth;

who would understand that

the food we eat has been

paid for with such bitter toil?
