SYNOPSIS (OVERALL) - IN THE MIDST OF HARDSHIP by Latiff Mohidin
In this poem, the poet tells of the situation of a farmer and his wife who had come back at dawn after being out in the floodwater for the whole day and night. They had been looking for their son's albino buffalo. They love their son very much that they are willing to brave the horrendous or horrible flood just to search for the albino buffalo.

IN THE MIDST OF HARDSHIP
Latiff Mohidin
At dawn they returned home
their soaky clothes torn
and approached the stove
their limbs marked by scratches
their legs full of wounds
but on their brows
there was not a sign of despair.
