In the rice field,

lies a desperate weed

Envious about the growing seed

Begging the farmer to let it thrive

.

It asked the farmer,

"What's so wrong with my desire to survive?"

"Why do I need to be sacrificed?"

"Is it because I can't give you rice?"

.

But even if it shouts,

nobody can hear what it's talking about

The farmer is eager to pull it out

Without even hearing its bout

.

It's just a useless weed after all

A hindrance for the plants to grow tall

But the weed also wanted to live

An unloved flower that wanted to feel sun's warmth.
