Tower of Babel
Visuals and feelings just like you
Our language has been confounded
But does this imagery not hold true
This existence has been surrounded
By a benign negligible view
Observation is a powerful tool
Sulking in silence watching knowledge emanate
Men with open mouths considered a fool
We seek to bask in the grandeur of heavens gate
Some may ask for deliverance unto Hells fire
All have sought either a respite or post fate
Illusions of chaos order is desire
A player of chess with abysmal views
Since conception we are all made to be liars!
