Towers

Towers
(Entry in DUP Contest)    
                                            
Towers of power
Erected for the fame,
Steel and granite headstones
Marking humanities shame,
Like ladders to the heavens
A subconscious, futile try,
To reach the heavenly father,
They jab and pierce the sky.
Monuments to wisdom of
Heights never reached
To satiate man’s ego
Progress must be preached
Forever climbing
The top never seen
Past the human dignity
Dying to the dream
We build it tall
To see it shine against the sun
And mark the resting place
Where humanity came undone
