Babel

Babel

From the time early man etched on the wall
Communication in place of a voice
the hand drawn line was a powerful force
that inspired Art and History 
but their was more to evolve
In time they all all discovered speech
 and spoke the same all o’er the world
then Babel fell and language changed   
The world evolves around each life
but not for some who struggle to a destined state
to  live and love with full accord and nothing moves
with misbegotten schemes of chance
now Politics is a language new
and the  Babel Tower has  fallen again
now words are rhetorical in millennial times
with alternative truth and fake news as well

Yours are words that prompt the reader to stop and think, Ralph. We boast of the great strides that technology has made, yet, notwithstanding modern media, we are still long way away from finding true understanding and full accord. Regards // paul

Thank you, Paul: I feel for the future youth of this world. This is a horrible political scheme here in the U.S.
