Architect/Demolitionist

Now it seems all along I was always the bad man.

An architect and a demolitionist
found foundation to build on
just so they could destroy it.
They're in business together.
One in the same.

The architect shows up with smiles and hugs.
He shows his design and
sells a young woman a dream to come true.
Over a glass of champaign,
the buyer celebrates the dwelling
she now has to live with.

Once settled in,
the walls start tumbling down.
The material used was flimsy.
Leaky ceilings and stained floors.
Then she's begging for someone to obliterate the mess.

In comes the demolitionist
with wrecking ball and dynamite.
With nothing but apathy
he dismantles the once happy home.

She weeps sadly on a stoop.
They seek out a new client.

Most of the time you are too abstract. Here you are not abstract enough. Kind of like your pitching.
