The Parable of the Modern Towers
The world built a single vast city that never slept.
It called itself Progress.
Its first tower wrote the laws and called them justice.
Its second printed money and called it freedom.
Its third streamed stories and called them truth.
Its fourth tested children and called it knowledge.
Its fifth wired machines and called it connection.
Its sixth branded belief and called it purpose.
Its seventh sold comfort and called it life.
Each tower leaned upon the next until they formed a circle—
a skyline without horizon.
The people looked up and forgot to look in.
Then a quiet voice moved through the noise:
“When towers feed on their own shadow,
they forget the ground that holds them.”
Some scrolled past.
Others paused, and in the pause they saw:
law written for profit,
money driving story,
story shaping education,
education fueling technology,
technology amplifying faith in product,
faith sanctifying consumption,
consumption sustaining the law.
The circle was complete—and invisible.
Awareness spread like dawn between screens.
The people remembered:
truth does not arrive as a headline,
but as reflection.
Each became a mirror,
and in that reflection the city’s walls grew transparent.
