Deconstruction

 
I walked into the sun-mist
Friday ringing joy
to see my friends
hard at work
 
Hey – let’s walk
 
Busy, busy, busy
 
Tear it all down
Tear it all down
Tear it all down
 
every brick
                by
                    every brick
                                    by
                                        every brick
 
But why?
 
Nothing that is should be
Nothing that was would be
Nothing that will be can be
 
But why?
 
I knew once, no more
Tore it all down

    What a great poem.  It speaks to me of the all the futile things we do out of frustration – if we\’d stop and think before we act maybe life would make a little more sense.  I think we all feel that way sometimes.  We get tired of everything  and just want a change.  Something, anything, the more radical the better.  Perhaps I\’m way off the mark – I suppose poetry means something different to each reader…

    You\’re not off the mark, you\’re quite on the mark actually…it works for people, families, communities, nations and whole cultures I think…
