The eyes in the Valley of Ashes are the eyes of "God" which could see all of the lies and know what's truly going on. The Valley of Ashes is found in between of both rich locations because it represents what the rich had to go through in order to become that wealthy. They had dirty jobs, a type of job that is illegal, to earn that money.

The 1920s

Drink and drive,
Sell that beer,
Stacks of money,
To make the future.
Leave the past,
No more blasts,
No more war,
Stay at the bar,
Hangover and
pass out.
