Status Updates From The Hollow Men

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow

Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death’s other Kingdom
Remember us—if at all—not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men

"This is the way the world ends / This is the way the world ends / This is the way the world ends / Not with a bang but a whimper."

Between idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow

Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow

This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man's hand
Under the wrinkle of a fading star.

It's kind of weird that T.S Elliot assumes that communist, secularist and people who aren't spiritual are "immoral" and hollow but considering this was in the early 1900's and practically everyone assumed that. Other than that, the writing was beautiful and the overall theme is great. I viewed it as "don't be an ass" and how people like Donald Trump are "hollow men".
