Tower Of Babel

Those chairmen are in the tower of babel again 
Painting and repainting the future of our land with crooked hands 
Laughing at things as the world pass us by.

Those chairmen are in the tower of babel again 
Writing us messages that have no bloodline.
Although black oil runs in our veins like water of vegetation 
There

God Stops Tower of Babel

God had with his finest sensors
Picked the edifice and its sponsors,
Then surfaced to have it videoed.
What angels could have Him radioed!

God,all along Himself radar,
Knew what to do to Man's ladder
And bombs can throw to burst bladder...
Bur-no!-He is always father:
Should God not be man's guide rather?

Men should only sparsely gather,
Save in streams with soaps that lather
No

The Tower of Babel

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 found,
so, God expelled him with his squad.

On Shinar’s plain men

A tranquil land, when the Earth was but few
Refreshing renewal, beginning anew
Noah and sons, grew to remain
Multiplied nation, so it became

Mountain of Ararat, water subside
A move to the east, with fears aside
Families therein, travelled afar
A settled plain in the land of Shinar

Bold decision, people of prime
Building themselves, for such a time
A great high tower, apparent

Tower of Babel

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 its top would not lay

Are there beings in outer space?
Or

The Tower of Babel

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 Ipupa 
I remembered with Lucky Dube and Brenda Fassie

Tower of Babel

Spiral tower stretches towards the sky
Higher than swiftest bird will fly
But even on the top if you lie
You will not necessarily go to heaven after you die

For heaven is not ordinary place
You will not reach it even if the tower stretches to outer space
But in every heart is heavenly place
In every soul there is a

Tower of Babel

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.

The Tower of Babel

God had directed man
To disperse throughout the earth,
But instead they built a city,
So Babel was given birth.
This magnificent tower
Reached way up to the heavens;
A monument of man’s power
For later generations.

The dwellers on the Plain of Shinar
Disbelieved God’s promise.
That He’d never send another flood;
The rainbow’s promise served this purpose.
In defiance they built the tower;
Complete rebellion reigned;
Lead

Tower of Babel

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 the light

Wisdom knows the pleasure that sings
In the minds of

Tower of Babel

belfrey and the bats therein
   risen high on heady winds
as if a quirk as if a whim
   the bats like rats within  my soul
they sat like cats within my skull
   beneath this skin inside was sin
this world will fail for lack of men
   and bats full
