中国农民

                                           一个沉重的名字
                                           为了土地上的生存
                                           在载舟与覆舟的长河中
                                           推动着中国历史前进的车轮
 
                                            终于有一天
                                            他们成了土地的主人
                                            用翻身做主的热情
                                            养育了全中国亿万儿女
                                            推动了中国工业化发展的进程

                                            当土地不能解决温饱的时候
                                            他们辞别父母、辞别妻儿
                                            辞别炊烟袅袅的村庄
                                            辞别世代耕耘的土地
                                            在工厂的流水线旁
                                            站成一颗树
                                            坐成一尊佛
                                            在城边的空地上
                                            用钢筋和水泥
                                            种植家的森林
                                            在崇山峻岭间
                                            牵线搭桥
                                            沟通和缩短
                                            人与人间的距离

                                           新的时代产生新的名词
                                           农民工
                                           从交公粮的农民
                                           变成搞建设的工人
                                           最后回归农民
                                           在田地里耕完自己的一生
