Babylons tower fell down <br />After angering god by Heaven trying to reach <br />And so God toppled the tower <br />Confused their tongues, a lesson for to teach. <br /> <br />The seeking of perfection was not good <br />No, the tower was built through pride <br />It was not built of love, as be it should, <br />No, but intent hard of heart was inside. <br /> <br />I, the writer, wrote long into night <br />Verses for which I thought maybe in time have reknown <br />And lost the disk on which they were stored <br />And so my Babylonic poetic tower fell down!<br /><br />Tomás Ó Cárthaigh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/babylons-tower-fell-down/
