The clock has gathered momentum
I am hanging on to the long hand
Trying hard to break the spring.
Seconds tick with a deafening roar
A thousand noisy robots
have invaded my sunshine fields.
Gigantic ant legs march along
from the decrepit temple of ambition,
crawling on minute minutes.
The rhythm of the magpie’s wings
syncs with the frozen hour
in the unearthly joggers’ park.
Give you a second?
Sorry I don’t have any.
You missed my train of thought
Nothing can stop me now
I’m chiming to the alarm bells of joy
from the cemetery of dreams.

oh! now i get it, Mr. TS Eliot! I just back-connected it with 'Solitude' and 'Ambition'. Too much I say!
Hell is oneself; Hell is alone, the other figures in it ... And nothing to escape to. One is always alone... is this the ultimate truth???
"if u have no one to die for, then ur life isnt worth living...".. the king said... well, ambition is all abt living... solitude is... :-)...
Yes I fully agree with you. At the end of it all, every human being is alone. Alone we come, alone we go and, in between both, other loners just trespass.
