Destruction

Tear it all, Tear it all down
There's nothing good here to see,
Bring this all down
There's nothing here for you or for me. 

A stronghold won't stand
With uneven walls. 
It all must come down 
Before we all fall. 

So, 

Stand high on the heap,
Kick all the stones. 
Let go of the anger
Which dwells in your bones. 

Have hope and rethink,
Breathe in new air. 
Look down and take sight,
Stones freed, lying there. 

New mortar, new clay
Rest warm in the sun.  
And beckon your sight,
And visions not done. 

Grab hold of your spade,
Your hammer, your blade. 
Lay out your maps,
And best plans made. 

Set out to make right
All gone so wrong. 
Build up your house
While singing your song. 

True destiny is held
By all men who know. 
That one must destroy 
If only to grow.
