Towers not only keep people locked in, they keep people locked out.
We need to get to the wonders hidden from us by distance and division. Books give us access to information and worlds that would otherwise be denied to us. We need to want that knowledge though.
Rescue
Tomes of alternating strands
Woven by ink-stained hands
Lowered from bright towers
For the curious to climb.
But...
Only for those unafraid
To scale fantastic braids
And expose the roots
of unencumbered minds.
