Walking Upright In An Uptight World Poem by Kyle Schlicher

charles darwin looking closely
through skeptical, quizzical eyes,

the secret.

what does the truth tell us?

a rocky crag of an island
lectures the intellect

of the deceivers.

what path is chosen?

quite simply, the most obvious one.

one man questions the past.

daring to interject an unbiased opinion

into the conversation.

a theory to upset the belief systems
of an entire continent.

one man.

one theory.

evolving.

point made.
