Premium Member Belshazzar's Banquet
The drinking was getting out of hand, Using vessels from the Promised Land, Praising gods that rulers can withstand, A pagan king gets more than he planned! "The enemy is outside your wall!" "No worries, our walls are very tall! Getting drunk is no problem at all. Medes and all, Babylon will not fall! Bel's greater than Judah's deity! Bel bested Him and took...

We ask if there be merit in the sand Conformed from heart and hand on summer’s day? However well the moat and turrets planned, The lapping of the sea’s not far away. O, that the tide shall come, we know too well: Then dream and substance shall together fall. A Babylon for which no tongue shall tell; The sea, the settling sea,...

Zul-Qarnain these days as a patsy in Babylon
Tim Horton, Tim Janis Kofi Annan, In a scaffold that knots a shoeless You are mincing me on a cutting board, these days In pounds per pounding heart , with knives and bleesed hone You were a father's lump and a mother's grace And slowly in your ladder you learned to term these as art Not those in Those...

Babylon Hath Fallen
Greed left a trail of crumbs for you to follow Don't ask why you can't put your hands on me I am the deepest, darkest part of the ocean floor That we've established is too dangerous to explore You’ve managed to be a victim but i'm still so ing angry when you told me everything, my...

People of Babylon
By the river of no return Where we sat There we wait Remembering our homeland We were taken into captivity Requiring from us total submission How shall we recite the Lord's Hymn ? In a strange man land Hmm! Hmm! Hmm! Hmm! Voices humming! We poured out the meditation of our heart into the river As our voices could...

"Babylon Candy" “My god you babble on” he said. the guy thought he was a giant, as far as writers go. She chirped, “it’s all post humus humour, from here on in you know”. Code-named, “The Owl”, she rolled her eyes and hooted, “You may as well play with your marbles before you lose them.” “God only knows - I Am.” he replied, “me, myself and I! By the way,” he...

Babylon
BABYLON: Oh...land of Babylon, The land that births wickedness, And breeds unfaithfulness. The land of real curse, Where every life is on reverse. Its walls are made of shame, And its gate is of pain. A land of total desolation, A land full of confusion, Governed by maleficent legislation. Its system only enslaves, And only destruction it entails. Babylon totally corrupts, And it's really left to rot....

Premium Member The Mute Hearts of Babylon
"The Mute Hearts of Babylon" the day the poets died a cloud past over the eyes of those who required the dance in music storms calmly stole electric love the new arrivals raged on while the beautiful dreamers woke too late sunk raptures looped on cue sucked in by a progressive 8 ball black holed sun all the melodies lost burning the Echo drums the Musae all silenced drowned 9's upside down all murdered inside out missing...

"What Next, Mystery Babylon? The World burns with a fever tongues of Babylon sing too late they sing like a river run dry divining rods searching for the last drop of truth throats cut and bleeding out their legacy the innocent still in their infancy mothers and fathers laying plans hiding behind religion speaking as gods consider themselves righteous messengers married to Moroni their true angels sacrificed each...

Arabia, Israel, Iraq, Samaria, Babylon
I The historical record shows many intimate connections between Arabs, Muslims, Hebrews and Jews, and Babylon. The nation we equate with Israel began as tribes in the deserts of Arabia. Some of them were allies, some opponents, of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). However, we know his Uncle-in-law was Jewish via Khadijah, and helped the Prophet reject...
