demo crew on standby
grandpa was a master builder
building with an eye for expansion
for growth & adaptation
to support many generations
none of those short-sighted greed-blinded mansions
20 rooms for one dude
he was a man for every season
& I paid attention
as current events expose a rotten foundation
I'm reminded of his philosophy
when the integrity of a structure
is no longer sound
tear it down
don't leave it standing
causing further dangers
pay attention to the issues
& don't repeat them
construct it better...
...starting below the ground...
...always keeping an open mind
conscious of what you leave behind
...for they next guy

Tear it down from below the ground. Yes that is a perfect concept for what is occurring in the world today. Very nicely written willow

If the foundation isn't right, the whole thing is crooked. Thank you, Fia

Sounds like a wise fellow.
They used to call them McMansions around where I live but I don't know what the kids are calling it these days.

His/your philosophy works for things other than those 20 room mansions…any singular structure or entity/situation could use some scrutiny.
The world would be a far better place if we looked out for each other. Then there’d be no need for a demo crew.
I love this, girl.

Brilliantly penned, Willow. Into the list it belongs. Sounds like a very wise man. It's like in the automotive world, if the frame is compromised in anyway the car is unsafe. Fantastic read my friend. Appreciate you.

I got the automotive infrastructure from my father. Wise men, both. Daddy used to say "Need to jack up the gas cap & put a new car under it. It's a goner." And here we are... Thank you, Damian

Hello Willow,
This is the kind of write I really enjoy reading, I am familiar with some of your writes and know youre a great teller of tales. Apparently you have inherited the builder skill. Your words often have a strong foundation and are very much rooted. Thanks for sharing, greetings and blessings

If it isn't built on a solid foundation, it falls apart. Thank you, Rianne

Your grandpa was a wise man, with advice that should last for generations to come.
I love your comparison to the world as it is and especially America. Keep spilling the truth, sis 💖
