Delinquent

Look Mommy! Look at me!
I'm building you a tower...high
So high the is-there god will cry
Out-loud with jealousy!

Is not, could not, did not find-
Smash the idiot design!
One by one by block in line,
Unpatterned and no one to see.

Love your reflection on this seemingly innocent topic, which turns into a struggle between Good and Evil, Life and Death. Bravo! Strength and Prayer, Gershon

I've only now seen your comment, a very welcome one. I kept this quite a while, worried that it was too obscure! Not for you! Thank you!
