ARCHEOLOGICAL FINDS! <br /> <br />The skeletal remains of our lost civilizations <br />with its lost cities, <br />Lie buried deep inside the bowels of the earth! <br />Remaining alive in the historian's and archeologist's <br />mind, <br />Eluding our lost vision of the past, long left behind! <br />And centuries later when such cities are suddenly <br />unearthened, <br />The common man remains rather indifferent! <br />For dead things cannot be revived, nor lost cities <br />resurrected! <br />People remain more concerned with their daily chores <br /> of survival; <br />The rising price of commodities and the inflation, <br />Before joining the world of the dead at some later <br />stage, <br />And to remain preserved as an old heritage! <br /> <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> New Delhi <br /> 08 Sep 08<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/archeological-finds/
