Needed No More

Needed No More

The land is terraced it was once rice fields

No longer in use due to pests that ate the rice

A big job to stop the pests like wild rats and aphids

The half-eaten rotting rice rancid not fit to eat

Almost a full crop ruined by pests to what extreme

Go the farmers again and again fighting a lost cause?

Now grass grows where rice was six years gone

In future will rice grow here again when new techniques

Allow for pest control eliminating rice eating vermin

Now it's a memory till then time moves on

In future science will work to help hard working farmers

Vermin eating crops needed no more
