Towers



Man and technology with incredible dreams,
Have no limits or so it seems,
Creating two towers that reach the sky,
One thousand meters and that's mighty high.

Two billion dollars is the estimated cost,
Four years building if no time is lost,
Side by side on a river site,
A tourist attraction both day and night.

Yes in China almost ready to go,
On an Island where the Yangtze doth flow,
In Wuhan city of ten million or more,
Watch this space and this structure adore.

Also in Dubai there's plan to follow through,
Trying to match and build another new,
Two major nations aiming to compete,

Who will succeed and actually complete.
