Deconstruction


Step by step

Little by little

Take it apart

Separate all the pieces.

Take the illness and suffering away.

Theses cannot be eliminated

Yet it's possible to use tools against them.

The scattered materials

Don't work the same.

Dysfunctional, missing a screw and bolt.

Useless alone and untampered parts

Brought together to build into something new

We're improving the system slowly

Together, if we change the little things

Then we can shape anything.

Improving and fixing instead of getting rid of.

By mending the cracks in the foundation,

We take the first step in solving everyhting wrong and broken.
