At The Farming House.


   
       We sowed our seeds
       During the same auspicious season;
       You went in for genetically modified methods.
       I tilled the land with spontaneous ease
       Ever wedded to the conventional lease.
       The yields were enormously distinct.
       There were thunderous uproars on your side.
       Contrary to a scene of poise on mine.
       My subdued harvest harnessed
       A stock for the next season.  
       My soil serially became the lap of luxury.
       The successive sterile voices were
       The echoes of your granary's void.
       You were artificially unearthed.
       The soil knows what it receives.
       The sanctity of the soil is seen 
       In its acceptance of the matching seed.
       With the soul of the soil  in its yield,
       The harvest is not just a heap.
       It is the halo of harmony between
       The soil and the seed.
       The energy of the yield can not be engineered.
       It is a happening in the hands of Nature.
                                                        P.Chandrasekaran.
