Babel’s Folly
With feet planted firmly
on a perilous spire,
the children of men
would strive to go higher,
by questing for answers
whose origin stem
from a misguided helmsman,
the science of men.
True He has made wings
with which to fly,
but they limit us still
to the realms of the sky,
and focus our eyes
on intellect’s lie
that on our own strength and effort
we’ll surely get by.
Yet with what we are “given,”
try as we may
to the “giver” of all
we can never repay
one single moment
we recklessly spoil
through efforts of climbing
our towers of soil.
