The Tower by ~SquirreLord:iconSquirreLord:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Sociopolitical > Open


Come to me
Into the tower
Come and see
What we've done to protect ourselves
In the tower we are free
In it's power we believe
And now
It's time to bring together
But how
Can we breathe forever?
Repopulate and dominate the end
To feed the self-obsession
Want and need
You congregate in me
Suffocation
The tower is all
The tower is our faith
Resignation
Dominate, you dominate me
Devastation
Always waiting for the light
Sleeping guarded through the night
The ground below will carry me
The tower wants us to believe
The skies above us to remind
The time that burns us ill-defined
But not that we were remembering
The dust that settles in everything
The tower brings us farther from the ground
It's power resonates in every sound

Something I wrote over three periods in school, it has a very specific meaning to me. But I'll allow you to make your own judgements over what it's about.

I'm getting the impression that the "tower" is like a god? I hope I'm on the right track, lol. I like it. :D

Not exactly a God, it's more like a symbol of people shutting themselves away from the danger of the outside world.

Sweet! I really like it. It made me think of religion too, but I can see how that and your actual topic fit together quite well.

but you hit it right on the nose. people are afraid of everything now.

:+fav:ed :)

I'm not a big fan of poems, but this one I could actually understand, at least, a little.

You can close your eyes from the things you don’t want to see but you can never close your heart from the things you don't want to feel:heart:

I like it. I see several potential readings but I'll keep those to myself. Sometimes it's refreshing not to bother with extracting a meaning and just see what pokes its head up on its own.

The little devil on everyone's shoulder.

Exactly, I like to keep that in mind when writing poetry.
