The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot Response

Anti-Passivity                   

Why don't we care
We try and we try
but it never is fair

We don't try like we used to
We don't preform like we used to
Will we ever get there
Not like this

All we show is fear
Are only chance is to trust
in those to come

We will succeed
Once sowed the seed
Confidence is what we need

Apathy is does no good
for those who even could
go far in this world
Our future unfurled



Explanation

              One of the themes in the poem The Hollow Men is passivity. The hollow men decide to wait and not act on trying to reach the kingdom. They stall and sit in their in between land and get nowhere. It makes them sad to not progress. People in the real world are the same way. We must have confidence to succeed.
