Thank you for this poem Ben. I enjoyed it very much. It is full of concern for the suffering of humanity, and the desire to help, and not just about a personal struggle. May I please have your permission to read it to a small contemplative group I am in? We have a theme on The Tower we are exploring on June 22. Thank you.

I love how you did this, ideal to a certain degree, using plenty 'metaphors' and comparisons, yet so simple that an idiot could read it, but still appealing to the more sophisticated eye, sorry for being so blunt, but good write, and somehow on a nearly cliche topic....

The tower would be a great idea. I have the impression we prefer destroying rather than building towers. Besides, the number of towerless people tends to infinite.... We prefer to believe we have towers. Towerless of the world, unite! ! !
