Memorable Legacy Poem by Tirupathi Chandrupatla

Archaeologists
Dig deep
Underground
To unravel history
And past glory
Exerting
Tender care
Preserving
The form and beauty
Of sculptures
Dwellings
And artifacts.

Mayan marvels
Ruins of Machu Picchu
Pyramids of Egypt
Civilized abodes
Of Mohenjo-daro
And Harappa
Caves of Ajanta
And Ellora
The Terracotta army
And many more
Uncovered
By relentless effort
Of researchers
Of civilization.

By their searches
Findings
And discoveries
We know
Our heritage
And we're enlightened
About our life
The richness
And importance
Of our existence
It's now clear
And evident
And we appreciate
What we are
And hope
To leave
A memorable legacy
Of our own
For the future.
