    The document describes a scene where a man watches as a building is torn down by a wrecking crew. He asks the foreman if the wrecking workers require the same skills as those needed to build, to which the foreman replies that he only needs common labor as he can tear down in a day what skilled builders would take a year to construct. This causes the man to reflect on whether in his own life he has played the role of builder who cares for others or a wrecker who enjoys tearing others down through his words. He concludes it is better to work with builders than wreckers.

    I stood on the street of a busy town, Watching men tearing a building down: With a "Ho, heave ho!

    " and lusty yell They swung a beam and a building fell.

    I asked the foreman of the crew, "Are these men here wrecking just as skilled As those you hire if you wanted to build?"

    "Ah, no." he said, "Oh no indeed! Just common labor is all I need. I could tear down as much in one day, if I willed, As it would take skilled men a year to build!"

    And then I thought as I went on my way, Just which of these roles do I really play? Have I walked along life's road with care? Are my words about others true and fair? -- Or am I a wrecker who roams the town, Enjoying the labor of tearing men down?

    ? --

    A good thing to remember, And a better thing to do; Is to work with the construction gang And not with the wrecking crew!
