The caveman did not want
To be forgotten when he died
The paintings he left behind
In hollows of Yelagiri hills
Of the hunter-gatherer days
Show his heirs have not left
His ways behind or grown up
The weapons have changed in
Velocity and reach and effect
Facilitating mass murder from
Beyond the enemy's visual range
Leaders threatening to bomb the
Adversary back into the stone age
Hark back to their wild ancestors ---
Ten thousand years and still the same
The conflict-filled mind still in the cave.
