On a hope deferred.
Am I building my Babel?
Brick upon brick
Constructing an edifice
Of my own achievement.
A monument, a stairway
Ascending by the effort of my own might.
Am I building my Babel?
A ziggurat of articulate,
Profound, impressive thought,
Words are its stones,
Thoughts its mortar,
The materials with which a man
Makes his mark on the universe,
Though veneered with a sparkling
Coat of praise,
A dialect which aggrandises the speaker
And not the Subject.
Am I building my Babel?
Am I building my Babel?
Am I building my Babel?
Unawares, an effort to reach heaven
Which in truth tries to
Become it’s equal.
May this tower be decimated.
Am I destroying my Babel?
Am I rebuilding Jerusalem?
