The ending is paraphrasing T. S. Eliot, from The Hollow Men.
"This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
Not with a bang, but a whimper."

In the ending of the poem "The Hollow Men", T. S. Eliot conveys a sense of despair and emptiness. The lines "This is the way the world ends / Not with a bang but a whimper" suggest a quiet and uneventful ending rather than a dramatic or impactful one. This ending reflects the theme of spiritual emptiness and the inability to find meaning or fulfillment in life.

The poet is conveying a message about the consequences of living a hollow existence, devoid of genuine emotion or connection. The hollow men in the poem represent those who lack substance, who live superficially and without purpose. By ending the poem with a whimper instead of a bang, Eliot emphasizes the insignificance and futility of their existence.

Overall, the ending of the poem serves as a stark reminder of the importance of seeking deeper meaning, connection, and authenticity in life to avoid a fate of emptiness and despair. Eliot's message encourages readers to reflect on the consequences of living a shallow and insincere life and urges them to strive for greater depth and significance in their actions and relationships.

By the way, I did com across a riff or 2 that could be the main challenge. I was quoting but It’s just in my blood to meet a challenge.
Like a drug, I can’t quit.

Well let’s hear it, I enjoy hearing your work.
I am in such a slump at the moment, I have no ideas and no inspiration for any, I just seem to be doing the same things over and over.

I've been using the Mode Four for YEARS! I've had SO MANY ppl come up to me after a gig asking me what I'm playing through, saying they thought my tone was off the chain. The M4 gets such a BAD rap. I had a mushroom cloud come out the back of mine TWO different times while playing the SAME song, Pulled Pork. I played the bass line on the guitar, with wah, cranked up. The first time was my fault for not checking where the last guitarist had the speaker cable plugged into the cab and I blew the ¼" plug right out the jack. The second time was at a gig, same song, just couldn't handle the it after being blown up and "repaired". The guy I contacted said he wouldn't touch it but I brought it to a friend who owns a music store and he got him to fix it.
The M4 in the pic is a new to me used one. It sounds GREAT! I just won't be pulling pork through it. The older one has no distinguishable markings as I was not sponsored by Marshall and I wasn't giving them free advertisement while playing. That's why no one knew what it was. I know a lot of tube snobs who would have NEVER told me how amazing the tone was if they new it was a M4, :ROFLMAO:

Thanks Mitch. I wanted to post it in Friday Night riffs but it’s not ready and then I thought it will fit for riffhackers I have everything but lyrics for a 3 min. song.
However the guitar tracks are only temporary.
I probably would not have done a song if I had not gotten the new drum midi.
