O, The Modern Men Of Ignorance! Poem by Ujjal Mandal

The hollow men make most noise
Of ignorance than wisdom
Like the frenzied clouds
In the sky.

The hollow men are already
On the paradise
But seeking vainly for
The lives among the dead bodies
Like the lost moon in the sun.
The hollow men have more knowledge
But no idea for application
Like the wild elephants.
The hollow men have the flutes of love
But no melody is therein
Like the guitar with broken string.

The hollow men have the movement
Of the snail walks but the spirit of
A cold statue.

The hollow men are the human
But they have no respect for 'humanity'
Like cannibals.

O, the modern Men of Ignorance!
For shame! For shame!
