"The giraffe craves a place at the front but it’s eyes are to far from the ground" are the lines from the poem “The Leader and the Led” by Niyi Osundare.
Using the forest as a metaphor for human civilization, in the poem, Osundare analyses the origins of the leadership crises that are plaguing various nations, including what appear to be individual weaknesses and disparities. Both herbivorous and carnivorous animals look for a leader to oversee their operations.
The giraffe makes an attempt. "Craves a place in the fault," he says. But in his situation, "his eyes" are allegedly "too far from the ground." A leader must be connected to his followers in order to understand their struggles and share in their experiences. A leader should not be an animal who is removed from their daily lives.
