Tup tup
tup
Tup tup tup
When the
sweat drops
Fell in
rhythm
The melted
muscle nerves
Tuned the
song
Song was born
along with the work
And the work
became a pal of song
In ancient
times on the shores of rivers
Creating the
dwellings when people lived together
In the path
of hunger flames and
In the chase
of fulfilling the hunger
The breath
that struggled
And the
exhaustion is the first song
In those
troubling forts
In that ever
niggling ruling
Bending the
neck, when carrying
The palanquin
of the boss
Go on go on
and go on –saying
Striving from
head to toe
Oho ohm, the breath
Became the
folklore
Wedding work in
the house of
Village head
Sharing among
them
The women of
the village
Started pounding the grains
The pressure
on lungs –
Sound of hus hus
Turned into
suvvi a song
And it raised’
high up
With in the
oceans tummy
Like balloons
that end up
In the hug of
death
Everyday of Lives
In the spill of rain and breeze
Swooping and
swaying
Swelled up the
fisherman song ‘haileso’
From the
voice of a fisherman
Beautiful life of hard
work
Within it elegant trail of tone
Enraptured in
course of work
When nature
turns into a tune
Enchants the
body
When the wind turns into a flute
From the
hearts of villagers
The palankini
chorus moved on
The tools in their
hands
When the
ringing of them becomes a lute
Weight of the
faltering steps
As drums thud
Entire earth
is a stage of work forfeit
Working
brothers are the base of this build
