Destruction Of National Treasures Poem by James McLain

The heart can only hold as much as life their gifts they gave.
Life to some is not as long as treasures left to stand.
That which stands can only stand as long as wisdom lasts.
Taking from the heart that made great things such men blind do.
Putting out their light the evil that such men will do.
Self hating they destroyed what they could never in life build.
Hopelessly their lost these men now know the secrets that men
like them never could.
