When TS talked of Hollow Men
Did he mean the Death of God
or the demise the soul?
Hollow men with empty eyes
whose last vision…
Yeats with his great rough beast
Slouching to God knows where…
small potatoes
compared to the feast Hitler
would bring to the table.
History has nothing to teach
One horror
piled on another
each greater than the last…
Like Steven Spielberg at the movies
Who cares about plot,
Just bring on the Shock and Awe.
