Builder or Wrecker

I watched them tearing a building down,

A gang of men in a busy town;

With a ho-heave-ho and a lusty yell,

They swung a beam and the side wall fell.

I asked the foreman:  “Are these men skilled?

And the men you’d hire if you had to build?”

He gave a laugh and said, “No indeed –

Just common labor is all I need.

I can easily wreck in a day or two

What builders have taken years to do.”

 

And I thought to myself as I went my way,

Which of these roles have I tried to play?

Am I a builder who works with care,

Measuring life by rule and square?

Am I shaping my deeds to a well-made plan,

Patiently doing the best I can –

Or am I a wrecker who walks the town

Content with the labor of tearing down?
