VILLAGE LIFE

The village we live
It is what we call granny’s place
Because we think we are to classic for the village,
Talk of the village and see one’s anger.

The village is where the goodness of the world resides
Everything worth for one to live
The food we eat in towns
The greatest fruits in towns reside in the village
Infact the village is better than the town

Offer me wine
Offer me bread
Offer me money
Offer me good houses and cars
And I leave the village.
But,
Let all the cars and houses,
Let all the riches perish,
I will know where my roots are,
The village.

The sweetness of the weather
The loveliness of the air
The unity of people.
All in the village.
Thus, I prefer village life.
