"Build Towers" by Will Lewis

You must build a tower to perpetuate the human race.
You, yes you, are the only ones that can do it.
Some may criticize your desires, tendencies, and outlooks, but only you have the power.
So build that raging edifice and expect to raise more.

You were never really able to live until recently, and we're sorry for that.
You were a slave in a brute's world, but now you're back.
Do not take revenge.
Raise one more tower in addition to your two.

We could build our own towers, but it would be useless.
Crafting them to be strong and unshakable makes sense,
But only if you have a say.
Our towers cannot save humanity if created by our own hands.

And do not hide your work.
Do not cast a shroud 'round the sky-reaching piece of hot stone.
Do not obscure its image with its brand of glove.
It is necessary should more come into being.

So construct a tower to save us all.
We just can't seem to live with you, but neither can we live without you.
Should our towers fall, so shall we all.
For you to refuse to build a tower would be to deny us of our image.

I was talking about boners the whole time.
