Famine Foretold (Stalin, 1930, 30 Million, and Mao Tse Tung 1960, 42 Million, Et Al)

Famine Foretold
(Stalin, 1930, 30 million, and Mao Tse Tung 1960, 42 million, et al)

The land is the lord of men who live
Near yellow and lime-green fields,
Who plant it and till it and gladly give
All their toil, for crops it yields.

Dictators forced them to the modern way,
Profaning ancestral farms, 
The land did avenge itself one day
With the prophesied, ancient harms.
