A Nimrod Hung till he Dries

The story is found in Genesis 11:1-9 as follows: wikipedia

1 Now the entire earth was of one language and uniform words.

2 And it came to pass when they traveled from the east, that they found a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there.

3 And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and fire them thoroughly"; so the bricks were to them for stones, and the clay was to them for mortar.

4 And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered upon the face of the entire earth"

. 5 And the Lord descended to see the city and the tower that the sons of man had built.

6 And The LORD said, "Lo! [they are] one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they have commenced to do. Now, will it not be withheld from them, all that they have planned to do?

7 Come, let us descend and confuse their language, so that one will not understand the language of his companion".

8 And the Lord scattered them from there upon the face of the entire earth, and they ceased building the city.

9 Therefore, He named it Babel, for there the Lord confused the language of the entire earth, and from there the Lord scattered them upon the face of the entire earth




well call it the tower of babel
an imaginary connection
a forerunner to the internet cable
a road to an etymological god
or call it a biblical fable
nimrod a religious ziggurat
a single word
confusion of tongues unable
no tags no label.
in a world today where
the nimrod living in a white house
build towers reaching the almighty
a single word power ..
corrupting absolutely
making a paper thin
wafer edged world unstable
all lines of communication disable
another nimrod saddam hussain hangs
till he dries
pretentious power ratings zooming
to the skies
to an American ethos acceptable
living a dream world lie
truth in todays world
to the untruthful unacceptable.
