Tower

Long before words were written
There was a legend of a wizard hidden
In the tallest tower the world had seen
Atop the stars, and in between
Dwelling as he did, midst Jupiter and Mars
And contemplating this world of ours

A fleet of dragons at his command
Seems they alone could understand
His every wish they flew to serve
And in all the world there was no nerve

To challenge his ascendancy
And throughout all lands
It was easy to see
There was no other way
it could ever be

His tower pierced the highest cloud
And no top could be seen
From ground below
And no one really seemed to know
Be it  brave knight or king proud
How this tower did so mightily grow

Enough stones for 1000 a  great pyramid
Surely magic was involved for the wizard did
Create this tower overnight
No one on earth could miss the sight
As dragons circled overhead
And the wizard's enemies were to dread
His spells were too strong to overcome
And for anyone he displeased,
Their life was done....

So if you see a magic eye..
Remember that
You can not deny
The wizard watches over you
And your words must be but true.
