Disappointed Tourists

These days it is easier to get disappointed as tourists to places picturesque

Because the vistas before you are not quite what you expect

Before your visit, innumerable pictures you have already checked out

Taken by expert photographers on perfect days, the ones without

A cloud in the sky, and most likely enhanced

These days using AI, there is only a small chance

That the scene before you looks as perfect as the photographs carefully curated

You promptly decide that the destination is overrated

Clouds obstruct your view and the place is overrun

By tourists like yourself, you are not having fun

*

Your hopes have been dashed to the floor

You do not expect to be impressed anymore

But you walk a little further, where the crowds have dispersed

And you come across a vista that must be unparalleled in this universe

The clouds have lent it an otherworldly hue

You promptly snap pictures of this breathtaking view..

*

You realize there is much more to the place

Than the initial view, disappointment you had faced

Because you were trying to judge by its cover the whole book

Now that you have opened it, there is unparalleled beauty in every direction you look
