Reassemble

an ancient bird flies across the 
nation on a sacred mission,
it flies to the north, to the east
then to the west and south,
it flies low and high and
nowhere does it fly where it
finds no one that does not hate,
the ancient bird flies up into
the heavens as far as it can go,
when it gets there, it begins to
rotate around and around 
until it explodes into over
one million pieces...
each one of those pieces falls
down upon the ground and
buries itself deep into the earth,
for over a million years it
remains underground until
archeologists dig into the hard
earth and uncovers the soul
of mankind broken into a
million pieces, so many over
such a broad area of land
that they decide it will take
entirely too long to reassemble.
