WALKING ERECT <br /> <br /> <br />By examining fossils millions of years <br />old, <br />Found buried in the land of Kenya, <br />Anthropologists claim that man had first <br />walked erect, <br />On the soils of Africa! <br />And aeons later, during the fourth century <br />BC, <br />The Greek philosopher Diogenes, <br />Had walked in broad day-light the streets <br />of Corinth, <br />With a lantern in hand! <br />Looking for someone worthy to be called <br />a Man! <br /> <br />Today during this twenty-first century, <br />Some of us are still looking for an <br />upright leader hopefully, <br />Who will rid our country free, <br />From corruption, dirty politics and <br />poverty; <br />Making her backbone strong; <br />To stand once more upright and tall! <br /> <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> New Delhi <br /> 29 Mar 08<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/walking-erect/
