The writer of this poem feels guilty somehow for not following the family tradition to be a farmer and work the land. For him he was a disgrace to the family but the only way he found to show how much did he loves his family was trough a pen. In all the poems that he wrote he reflected the family tradition and how he feels about it, always trying to help but the best thing he can do its to write it down instead of working the land like the rest of the family. In his poems we can see the passion for the land and the desire to maintain the people interested and how is it that a farming family lives and work.
