The Knowledge Rich Poor (A Poem By Dr. Balaram Sahu) The son of our village landlord came To stay, see and conquer all He was moving with his followers Those always talk tall? While going through the farm A swarm of wasps bit his face His face got much swollen And he reeled under pain.
Some one shouted for drugs Some one for some ice Where will these be found? In an inaccessible field of rice The pain was rising high Became unbearable too The flatters were only shouting Nothing could they do? A laborer was working A little away there, He offered his help To cure and take his care The laborer plucked the stem of a plant "Colocacia" is the name It is a common vegetable And its taste makes its fame. He massaged few drops of the stem juice Over the wasp bitten wound, The pain subsided quickly And the redness could not be found. The laborer was very poor But rich in traditional knowledge If you need some of these Tell him with some courage. (In rural Orissa ,People use the stem juice of "arbi" or "saru" (Colocacia) to relieve pain from ant ,wasp,bee biting. Application of some drops of juice from the stem of leaves of arbi plants work wonder in minutes.Arbi is a popular country side vegetable grown under soil.Shree Ramesh Chandra Parida of Kendrapada in Orissa has used this in many occasions and got good result) __._,_.___
