Unto Babel

To build a spike and engrave their own name
Even amongst the stars, to find acclaim
Rock and steel they took in hands
Yet futile are mortal plans
He chose one man and put all to shame.

Yes he did Grace, and confounded their language too, if I am thinking of the same thing. Congratulations on your worthy presentation's success, and thanks for your support. Agape, Moses
