The Tower

Behold the tower which looms in the distance

Gaze upon it with fear and reverence

For the tower rules over us all

From the day we are born, until we die

 

Behold the tower with an orb on each side

They feed it power and bring it to life

Then a sword emerges from its top

And emits a signal, calling humankind

 

Where have they gone?  Your loved ones and mine?

Where are the ones who answered its call?

They have vanished into the night

To worship the tower, never to return

 

But what of us who did not answer the call?

Behold, the new light upon its top

It seeks out those who did not conform

Fugitives we are from its watchful eye

 

 

 

Lo, I have seen those touched by the tower’s light

They yet live, but they live without a face

They look as manikins stalking in the night

Made to serve the tower, they now hunt us down

 

With the will of the people

Added to the might of the tower

The future is bleak

But may we never surrender
