There were a hundred people with pickup trucks just like mine to line the streets and block the demolition. I wish I wish I wish. There were a hundred builders like me who could take hammer to nail and make those buildings whole again. I wish I wish I wish. I wasn't sitting up here, along, a thousand miles away and with no allies that I know of who understand and feel like I do. I wish I wish I wish. I wasn't so damn helpless and hapless up here, knowing full well that this doesn't need to happen, but knowing full well it will and there's not a damn thing I can to stop it today. I wish I wish I wish.
