Hail Farmer Deity
Fantasy ...
Farmer chills
even on heap of chillies
After all, chilles are his babies
he nursed, made it ready for dishes
Harvest joy, no less than a winner
Time to voyage in blissful orbiter
Not as a toiling Farmer
But as a harvesting Emperor
Reality ...
Though deity of food, fodder
Farmers, unaware of own future
Will crop be meager or bumper?
Will his efforts satiate hunger of poor?
Hail Deity of arable land treasure
Prioritise resolving issues of farmer
Else, Deity may curse in different manner
May quit farming, trigger epidemic hunger
