The Builder (You can't build your life in a day)

I saw a group of men in my hometown.
I saw a group of men tearing a building down.
With a heave and a ho and a mighty yell,
They swung an beam and the sidewalk fell.
And I said to the foreman, "Are these men skilled,
The type you'd hire if you wanted to build ?"
And he laughed and said, "Why, no indeed."
He said, "Common labor's all I need.
For I can tear down in a day or two
What it took a builder ten years to do."
And I though to myself as I walked away,
"Which of these roles am I going to play?
Am I the type that constantly tears down
As I make my way, foolishly, around?
Or am I the type that's trying to build with care,
In hopes that my organization 'll be glad I was there?"
