Well in a way this isn't even my second coming, this is, in fact, third one. This, you see, doesn't depend entirely upon me, so I just don't know if it's my last coming. At any rate, it's getting too much for me. @Muskan Ghuman Hope I will not disappoint you, but again, who knows.

Yea you are right last island, I just can't forget this poem these days. Here is the complete poem for those who have not read it yet.
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) THE SECOND COMING Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all convictions, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand; A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

And u know whats the main line of the poem The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; One MUST hear what the falconer says
