The poet is the view that we are soulless. Our actions and deeds are hollow.
Our effects are vain like running of rats or rustling of grass. We have formless
shapes. We do not have the real spirit and enthusiasm. The poem is a lamenting
note on modern man's soulless life. In this poem, the poet condemns the spiritual
emptiness of modem man. We are just hollow and stuffed men. Almighty God
created everything for man. He created man to rule over this world. Man is sent
in this world to get knowledge, about God and universe, to pray to God and to
serve the human beings. If man does not recognize himself, he cannot fulfill the
object of his creation. Life without knowledge, wisdom and love is worthless. In
these lines,, the poet points out such type of deficiencies. The poet says the 'we
do not have knowledge and wisdom. Therefore, we are worthless men. We are
stuffed men like puppets or dolls. We try to follow one another. We do not have
knowledge and wisdom to lead others. Alas! We do not have ability to listen to
realities of life. We have nothing to say because we know go thing.
We have no ability to listen to the good things and to convey valuable thoughts.
We have no form and no color. We have force but we do not know how to male
its best use. Therefore, we have paralyzed force. We do not know anything good.

spiritual emptiness of modern man. He says that we are pillow, empty men. Our
efforts are fruitless like the running of rats or rustling grass. We have formless
shapes. The poet talks the dead persons. It is also talks about wants ignorance
and dullness. . The poet says that those who have already departed from this life
do not know of our being frustrated or not. We seem to be only puppets made of
straw. We have no ambition in our life. We are not anxious to get something. We
have no goals to reach there. We are blind to the truth. We like to follow others.
We do not like to get knowledge and to become a guiding star for other people.
