    The Tower of Babel

     https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/the-tower-of-babel

    A tranquil land, when the Earth was but few
    Refreshing renewal, beginning anew
    Noah and sons, grew to remain
    Multiplied nation, so it became

    Mountain of Ararat, water subside
    A move to the east, with fears aside
    Families therein, travelled afar
    A settled plain in the land of Shinar

    Bold decision, people of prime
    Building themselves, for such a time
    A great high tower, apparent worth
    Be not scattered over all the earth

    Work commenced, building the city
    Bricks and mortar, workers busy
    Ever-ready, no time to stall
    Unexpected to cease at all

    Might endured, the time it took
    A displeased father, there to look
    Ever more sinful, none to repent
    Ignoring the one who gave them strength

    Labouring on, within their own plans
    Worshipping the work of their own hands
    A call from high, un-amused
    Let their languages be confused

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
