High Tower

You watched the ground break

Steel shard upward to the sky

Giving shape, creating form

Intellectual design

and environmentally sound

An art piece to the community surround

Of what can rise up of dust

Of what we can and what we must

You said the words to make it happen

You gave it vision, and breathed its life

You gave it all you got

But all at what cost

In all that you build

One sight you lost

And now beguiled with guilt

You could build your High Tower

but you never managed to build a meaningful connection

You had yourself, but you neglected the Power

She lead her life within herself

While you celebrated the success of your wealth
