American Eye Pits and a Scar

 by Holly Blue

The American must destroy something,

It is almost a necessary if one is to get anywhere;

Then afterwards,

After the destruction,

The bones will turn into pearl walls,

Pearl gates and necklaces, and 

Ladders to get to the 

Higher ground

Where the rest of the world

Sits back sadly and smiles;

Asking 

Why?

Why did you do that

At all?

We would've helped out 

In any direction 

Desired, wanted to go.

The American must pretend this

Didn't happen, so it can happen

Again, and again, and

Again;

So the American must destroy something,

It is a necessary part of survival 

Among the wolves,

Among the world who would help even

If it was not a necessary;

The American must destroy something,

So the days go by and time interprets 

The commodity of eye pits,

Of a scar;

The American must destroy something,

So often it is himself.
