Insistence - The Shadow

[with respects to Thomas Stearns Eliot]

Between the plan and the truth
Between the state and the act
Falls the shadow and the hypocricy
Among the existence and (the) nature
Between the thought and the spoken
Falls the shadow and the sneakness
Not to be aware of these …
Living (in) this way is
Propping up (the) devil
Consenting (as) normal is
Being (a) part of evil
Not to be aware of these …
Not to be aware of these …
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men, leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw and dirt
Don't step into favor
No need to search the devil anywhere
Standing on your left shoulder
But don't forget the (other) one on the right He is always following your kind fight
Tell your way
Left or right
Choose your colour
Black or white
Till the answers will be cleared
The hollow will not dissappear
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men, leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw and dirt
Don't step into favor
Not to be aware of these …
Not to be aware of these …
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men, leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw and dirt
Don't step into favor
If we want to stuff the hole
In life we've gotta hold our role
Only way is Right and White
Where shadows don't hide
