The beacon tower

This beacon tower
Left over from the Han dynasty
Still stands
In the ghostly
Talklamakan
When hostile entities
Both human, and ghost
Emerge  from the deserts
Lo, it this towers still
Guards the karakigil buddhist
Caves and the empire of Qin
It will be the symbol of the
Simpler times
