They visit rock-cut monuments
taking time off diverse commitments
across different establishments
They spoil the sanctity of the environs
with their flashy foot marks
stomped and stamped
drenched in self-glory
coupled with umpteen mobile clicks
packaged for Facebook posterity
shamelessly endorsed
by the family, for the family
Worse, the damage takes a devastating turn
when they brazenly broadcast
musty Wikipedia entries
as proof of their
overflowing intellect
overriding the enduring work
of few great souls:
archaeologists, historians & thinkers - all in one
who found a second home
in the divine caves,
surveying and studying them,
unfolding their timeless charm
for the benefit of the world at large
Tragedies of the caved kind make you cave in
to the cavemen diktats of modern times.
