lyrics

II. Agriebb

No longer able 
To toil around 
The grounds I love 
Smells of grains 
Now only a fragrance 
On the few clothes 
I have left
Feeling unwanted 
By everyone else
Is painful
People's wallets showing 
As much 
As their hearts 
To see what we endure
And now the future we face
Wrinkles of pain and sadness
Would surely form 
Giving and not receiving 
The downfall of a profession
Hands calloused and blood-crusted
Now clutching a bowl of modest stew
