Noah And His People Poem by Gert Strydom

When grandfather Noah came out of the ark at mount Ararat
the whole world around him was still wet
and just there he wanted to build a house
but Ham and his people took the road to the plains

did not want to trust on what the rainbow does signify
as they were making their own plans
and in their thoughts were
to build a tower and a city
that goes up to the portals of God
but later when the thunder roared
when their tower did fall in flames to the earth
they did speak different languages and scattered apart.
