Babylon [2] Poem by Gert Strydom

While towers do reach for heaven,
while from ancient times man
tries to escape from this world
and the misery that threatens here
as if a way to God can be built
and than to be able to self-righteously
walk into His portals

with overwhelming ideal upon ideal
out of the earthly Mecca America
that tries to lay down rules for the whole earth
as they want things for people
and do try to determine the ways of nations

I do stand alone as a single person
that do resist with other ideals
that I have got as high and holy
and I do only bend towards God,
to Jesus Christ and a relationship with Him
as I do know that no salvation
will ever come from Babylon
and that the true answers
do only lie with the omnipotent Lord God.
