16. The Tower

Destruction,

you see thunder in the sky,

the ground cracking,

the world collapsing,

with no way to escape.

This was once a blessed land,

lush with flowers and leaves,

overgrown with vegetation,

believed to be a gift from the gods.

They built a tower here,

showing their conquering stance—

yet arrogance brought destruction.
