Destruction and Construction
destruction
is in my head
i feel like a bit part player
playing destruction to myself
i am a slayer
ticking away
ready to explode
tearing strips off my mind
and imploding my soul
destruction is in all of us
it is something to realise
something you cannot trust
i am just playing this play
what does it matter,
i know my lines
but i am not a good actor
so i will stumble through life
but i do not care
i will be just on the edge
i haven’t the guts to go over
that would be total destruction
and that is not really me
i am into construction
of a decent world for me
and a safe haven, called fantasy
James Garratt – July 1995
