The Paper tower

Walls and walls of wisdom here

Set in paper words so dear

Knowledge of the centuries

Use it well it all comes clear

Pile them high

Build them up, until the top, then we see

Build them high

Never stop, exceed our reach

Driven on

Driven on, riven on the peak

Oh but why?

Reaching so high

Something’s not quite right up here

Observers from the ground aren’t clear

Never thought of flight up here

Acrophilia not fear

Pile them high

Build them up, until the top, then we see

Build them high

Never stop, exceed our reach

Driven on

Driven on, riven on the peak

Oh but why?

Reaching so high

Towering high and wobbling around

Barely moving and try not to look down

Build uncertain structures far too tall

Certainty of thought won’t break our fall
