Be aware of this,
We’ve all survived worse:
All ethnicities;
Present day oppressive times
Will also be overcome:-

We’re not a kingdom,
All here are here equally,
And destined

Children of Babylon

—A Poem for the Reckoning

You rulers of cold castles,
With pens that write in blood—
You sail on seas of sorrow,
Feeding empires with the mud
Of broken nations, broken backs,
Broken dreams beneath your tracks.
You dress in suits of polished lies,
But justice sees through every crack.

You preach peace, yet profit war,
Leave Africa wounded, bruised, and poor.
You take her gold,

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

The Sandcastle

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,

IRON MAIDEN 

Iron maiden was she 
fathered from loins of 
Zeus flow free ~
surrounded by swords 
steely three, icicle aura 
bounded hounded 
innocence thorned

iron clad sane became 

She ran in plain rain on 
grassy hill for all to see
glistening glaring flaring
Sekmet at her shoulder

The Lion Of Babylon

The only thing
that changes
is perspective

The only thing
envisioned
sight unseen

The only thing
that’s lasting
stays redundant

The only thing 
that lingers
— is a dream

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

Code-named,

she rolled her eyes

and hooted,

“You may as well play

Hotel Babylon

Where we will fly to heights you have never been. 
Your skinis so hot it is burning me.
Let's not stop the flow of escasty 
We will feed eachother on food so divine that only the best wiwine can supply.
We have chemistry that is heating both you and me
Your eyes tantalize

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.

Babylon

To Babylon, we came...
To watch the rise of Tower 
The Tower of Cain
A fortress of dark n eternal pain

Stretching to the vaults of heaven 
to quite the RAGE of Man
to challenge the reign of divinity 
into humanities Wasteland of Ages 

a paradise of industry and history
a sable hand in a gilded land 
once called EDEN...!

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

The Velocity of Change

The Velocity of Change
David J Walker

Perhaps it was only a matter of time
Before we bowed to the gods
We vowed never to create 

There is an app made in
Our own image in
Pages of code written by
A future named Babylon

Which doesn’t care if you 
Live or die
	Come or go

The velocity of change
Is written in its own scripture
