The conversation in a bus Commenced thus: The silence hung above the ground, Encompassing all everything around With muteness of a world; And not one word Was uttered in vicinities of life That ceased to be in an eternal strife And finally declared was peace, When something was so thoroughly amiss Amid turmoil of precipice of hell Where the most abject creatures used to dwell, For there was nothing in that vacuousness of chasm, As if within the man after ****** Was nothing there, within, without, Nor along the fissure; no, no doubt, ‘Tis something was indeed so very strange What to the utmost point of stretching range Was seen no sain a person, nor deranged, Nor hollow men, nor locked up in a cage And only one array of words reverberates through chain of poles: “We are the men of no land Who dwell in no men’s land We’d like to free our hands To make this torture end”
