VISUAL PROMPT

Write a story or poem that could be titled 'My City on Fire'.
Weeping Towers
The towers of memories crumble to ashes.
The architecture tumbles, crawls,
Crashes.
Heart and hand built these walls.
Love and time must watch them fall.
Hatred devours like a fire,
Taking down every spire.
I watch it all go to hell,
I admire its wicked spell.
Weeping towers I built from sand.
They all die at my own hand.
What can I do to stop this destruction?
What can I do to save my construction?
Put out the fire.
Douse the flames.
My only desire
Is to mend my shame.
Rebuild them,
My weeping towers.
Stack them higher, and higher
And higher…
