This is the inspirational poem
that influenced Julian Mather

A heave and a ho and a yes yes yell they swung a beam and a big wall fell.

I said to the foremen are these men skilled like the ones you'd use if you had to build?

He laughed and said 'oh no indeed, the most common labour's all I need.'

Because I can destroy in a day or two What it takes a builder ten years to do.

So I thought to myself as I went my way, which of these rolls am I willing to play.

Am I one who's tearing down as I carelessly make my way around

Or am I one who builds with care so my family, my community was a little better

Because I was there.
