Best Watchtower Poems
All Along the Watchtower Re-Visited For 9-11"There must be some kinda way to find out here"
Said the seeker to the stealer
"There's too much confusion
I'm struggling to be the reveal"
"Conglomerate men, they drink my wine
Politicians dig my earth
None will level on the line
Because none of them are worth it" hey
"There is reason...

The WatchtowerRough waters startled,
The vessels terror sounded,
Blackness overwhelmed,
Suddenly ahead,
The Luminosity of
A star led them home.
The watchtower knows,
That sometimes we go astray,
His light guides us back.

All Along the WatchtowerAll
along the watchtower,
little babies
line the tower
curled up
in a foetal
in the cold.
They live motherless
as
little snowflakes fall.
They live fatherless
as
the wind
sweeps,
every minute,
the weakest cry
into a better world.
High pitched cries
from frail bodies
weaken
by miles of seconds
Passing by.
As more fade
a multiplicity
of babies
are dropped off
along
the watchtower.

Abandoning the WatchtowerDylan got bitten
hard by fame
and though wounded
continues to tour
A thundering
majesty
in makeup and veils
jesters by the score
Divorced from
his wandering
a pilgrim of dreams
the past too great a cost
A caricature
of genius gone
eyes clouded over
—Camelot lost

WatchtowerSo we grow older it cannot be denied
and we grow to like this little life
this smaller, quieter style
less of this and none of that
and how does that suit you
with all your bits falling apart
Now look, there
on the outskirts
see the dust, rising
it's the future calling us...
