A tower is a tall structure, taller than it is wide, often by a significant margin. Towers are distinguished from masts by their lack of guy-wires and are therefore, along with tall buildings, self-supporting structures.
Towers are specifically distinguished from "buildings" in that they are not built to be habitable but to serve other functions. The principal function is the use of their height to enable various functions to be achieved including: visibility of other features attached to the tower such clock towers; as part of a larger structure or device to increase the visibility of the surroundings as in a fortified building such as a castle; or as a structural feature as an integral part of a bridge.
Towers can be stand alone structures or be supported by adjacent buildings or can be a feature on top of a large structure or building.
Towers have been used by mankind since prehistoric times. The oldest known may be the circular stone tower in walls of Neolithic Jericho (8000 BC). Some of the earliest towers were ziggurats, which existed in Sumerian architecture since the 4th millennium BC. The most famous ziggurats include the Sumerian Ziggurat of Ur, built the 3rd millennium BC, and the Etemenanki, one of the most famous examples of Babylonian architecture. The latter was built in Babylon during the 2nd millennium BC and was considered the tallest tower of the ancient world.

Genres: Drama,For the love, Iʼd fallen on
In the swampy August dawn
What a mischief you would bring young darling!
When the onus is not all your own
When you’re up for it before you’ve grown
From the faun forever gone
In the towers of your honeycomb
I’d a tore your hair out just to climb back darling
When you’re filling out your only form
Can you tell that itʼs just ceremon’
Now you’ve added up to what you’re from
Build your tether rain-out from your fragments…
Break the sailor’s table on your sacrum…
Fuck the fiercest fables, I’m with Hagen
For the love, comes the burning young
From the liver, sweating through your tongue
Well, youʼre standing on my sternum don’t you climb down darling
Oh the sermons are the first to rest
Smoke on Sundays when youʼre drunk and dressed
