The Tower Of Babel Revisited

A child cried out in the middle of the night
There was no one around to dry her tears.
Two avatars kept boxing in an invisible world
Both trying to bury their fears.
While the whole world kept searching, not knowing for what,
A tower soared high in the sky.
It kept growing and growing, devouring but knowing,
But no wise men stood up to ask why.

The Tower of Babel
Is but a mere fable
Ignore what you see with your eye.
Don’t believe when they claim
There is no one to blame.
The whole manifestation’s a lie.

A man with a carpet approaches the market
Do you think that he’s hiding a bomb?
That same said lost soul
Now five years on the dole
Someone tell him please what went wrong.
He was relieved of his power
Axed by the tower
His life sold to someone he can’t see.
Now he’s killing and looting
While his brain keeps rebooting
All because of the double u 3.

The Tower of Babel
Neatly fits on your table
But don’t let it possess your lap.
It’s no breath of fresh air
But then there’s none left to share
And it won’t stop you minding the gap.

Shiny screens replaced books
As we touched up our looks, and millions get lost in the surf.
Faraway places, unrecognizable faces
All free or stolen, nothing has any worth.
Nobody’s talking or out there and walking,
No reason to drive into town.
The Tower controls us, but would we be homeless
If tomorrow it came tumbling down.

The Tower of Babel
Is it merely a fable
Or are we the ones living the lie?
Have we lost all identity
Is this how God had meant it be
Or a fad to ignore and get by?
