Best Babel Poems

Tower of babel
falls pride crushed dust
scattered across the face
Of earth dull heads crumble
Who challenges Gods of the ice-bergs 
Spilling thorns on sad milky way
Are we building tower ?
Let it crumble on  heart.

And the tower of 
Babel is destroyed within, thus
there is no more din;

cacophony of
mother tongues. Everything is 
silent now: the noise

is fractured, the voice 
is shattered, the sound is ruined
and at last, I hear 

no other sound of 
voice, know no other language,
but yours, the...

Build them wider, taller
let us reach for the sky

when we run out of bird's 
we'll clip angels on the fly

90,000 lb. sperm whale
wandering, searching for 
his misplaced tail...

but elite global outlets will 
never fail....only us commoners
stuck in the dark, our vehicles
needing, only one gear~ Park!...

Babel: “A bottomless pit of violence, a Tower of Babel where all are speakers and no hearers.” Alexander Smith

The preachers preach what they've been taught.
Reporters say what they’ve been told.
The politicians lie and lie.
I watch a tragedy unfold.

On social media I see
some folks who like...

Today I woke up and smiled with Africa
     I rapped with Nazizi 
     I admired with Ali Kiba 
     I adored with Fuse Odg 
     I danced with Fally...

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....

Noah survived the flood with sons Japheth, Ham, and Shem.
Along with the animals of the earth, God spared them.
With floods, He vowed never again to do such a thing.
God made a covenant with Noah and his offspring:
“You and your sons shall populate the world as...

Written by the wisest of man
The reign of loss; the age of sand
Ancient scribes search in their hearts
For what will be once they depart

The course is vain, carved by self-need
The river flows from beauty to greed
Gods of love detached from their sight
Excuses now to murder...

burnished ladder lifts

Before men did a tower build,
within their mind, the seed of pride
like a noxious weed in fields was sown.
To replace God was their sole aim
and establish for themselves a name.

This seed in Satan did abound.
He thought to take the place of God.
In him, iniquity was...

Sobre pressão do hip-hop
estou aqui para declarar
a primeira guerra  mundial
do amor
o amor que carrego dentro de mim
o amor que vossos barcos de escravatura
partilharam com os meus ancestors
chorando lágrimas de tristeza,
sobre pressão do hip-hop
faço rimas diabólicas
que atormentam vossos nossos corações
carregando dentro de mim
abuses de raiva
que...

When my honeyed fave took a flight
To travel all through the sleepless night
I thought we would time after time converse
But sullen stillness is all I get from the airs terse.

I hope that tinted hawk still bears you harmless
And remains under the tight harness of its...

They say
Four thousand years before today
When supposedly they tried to make tower of clay
Tower that their desire to reach heaven would convey

 Tower of Babel was supposed to be two miles high
Reaching far into the sky
But no matter how high
At the door to the heaven...

In realms where thought and tempests meet
where shifting sands outpace the feet
a creature stirs with cunning guise
Circumlocution cloaked in darkened skies
its words like desert viper’s sting
they strike the heart then coil and cling.

Through jungles thick with tangled green
where vines obscure what might be seen
it stalks...
