The fields lay barren, the crops no more The farmer's heart heavy, his soul so sore His debts piled high, his hopes all gone He sees no way out, but to end it all.

He sows the seeds, with sweat and toil But the rains fail, the soil all dry His livestock dies, his farm in shambles His family hungry, his mind in knots.

The banks knock, the creditors scream His loans unpaid, his life a dream He walks alone, through his empty land His future bleak, his heart unmanned.

He holds the gun, to his weary head His tears fall, his spirit dead He pulls the trigger, and the shot rings out His body falls, his soul in doubt.

His family mourns, his friends in shock His village weeps, his country talks Of the farmer's plight, of the debt trap Of the policies failed, of the government's slap.

The fields still lay barren, the crops no more The farmer's gone, his pain still sore His story echoes, across the land Of the farmer's suicide, of a tragic end.
