Destroying Is Easy

It takes me
two months of 12 hour days
to write a 200 page novel.

It takes a critic
five minutes
to rip it apart.

Everyone,
even a five year old,
can destroy.
It is exciting,
dramatic,
violent.

Building, on the other hand,
can only be done
by a rare few.
Building takes thought,
effort,
resources,
time, so much time.

Building is a thousand times
tougher
than destroying
but it is worth it.
It is how we build a better world.

Ignore the destroyers.
Concentrate on building.
