Harvest Hymn by John Betjeman Harvest Hymn by John Betjeman Getting Started  List the things that we get from Nature. What do we give in return?  What is likely to happen if there is no land to cultivate in the future?  We spray the fields and scatter  The poison on the ground  So that no wicked wild flowers  Upon our farm be found.  We like whatever helps us  To line our purse with pence;  The twenty-four-hour broiler-house  And neat electric fence.  All concrete sheds around us  And Jaguars in the yard,  The telly lounge and deep-freeze  Are ours from working hard.  We fire the fields for harvest,  The hedges swell the flame,  The oak trees and the cottages  From which our fathers came.  We give no compensation,  The earth is ours today,  And if we lose on arable,  The bungalows will pay.

BULL IN THE CITY BY SRIRANGAM SRINIVASA RAO (SRI SRI) Bull in the City On the main thoroughfare of the city The bull casually  Perhaps with the memories from the earlier birth Chewing the cud with half shut eyes Without moving or shifting The bull in the heart of the city. As if it is the right holder of the road Leaving the responsibility to the times Heckling the scampering of the civilisation Stood there that it is the King! Who dares to ask the bull to move Look how it glances around Aye! Aye! Motor car! What is the hurry with you? Oh! Brother Cyclist! Careful! The bull wouldn't budge! Anti-machinery, proponent of non-violence and a vegetarian Expert in anti alcoholism On the main road of the city Obstructing the passage of the civility However long like this This bull can stand! If the bull has no sense Shouldn't the man have it? నగరంలో వృషభం నగరం నడి

ON FRIENDSHIP BY KAHLIL GIBRAN And a youth said, "Speak to us of Friendship." Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace. When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay." And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart; For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed. When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain. And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit. For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of
