Scarecrow <br />A symbol for Asia <br />All over the fields <br />In this vast continent <br />In all shapes and poses <br />Guarding the staples <br />Turning away pests <br />Day in and day out <br />Blown by the wind <br />Blast by the rain <br />With not even a single sigh <br />Though the birds flutter umpteenth times <br />Twittering hymns of impatience <br />The straw men with their arms <br />Twisting and waving are seen <br />Quietly doing their job <br />Asians' best friends <br />Forever loyal <br />Chasing away predators <br />Parasites..... <br />Asian best armies, <br />Will they ever come alive?<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/scarecrow/
