Babylon Babel's Tower, (A Tribute To Prophet Moses) Poem by Simpa Omoluabi

Babylon Babel's Tower, (A Tribute To Prophet Moses)



Babel the slavery empire where men did beseech their lords
Like gods who enslaved them to build on earth a kingdom heavenly.
If this be the gates of God the Lord must be queenly
And the speech of the Lord is the freedom of speech.
Mon amour know that if I had a tower to build
You shall be the ideal model,
By you one sees the true tale of Babel and glossolalia
Where liberty, independence was sought from the imperialist
By slave colonies like in Nigeria speaking diverse tongues
And other colonies who in anarchy like in Babel fought to be free,
And like you the dreadful beauty of uprising
Wild with uncontrollable ecstasy, they rise up in arms,
Indignantly moved with the watchword at ‘heavens gate'
And sought to give the heartless gods a wound for a heart.
