A Lower Power Tower

You can be a Tower of Power and you certainly do not have to be 2717 ft or living in such a monstrosity. When men decide to make such an edifice, it is not about providing a place to live for the homeless or deprived, rather it is for the affluent to carry on their eccentric lifestyles. In fact, this city of Dubai seems to be a place where only a small percentage of the people in the world can afford to live.

 

 

A Lower Power Tower

 

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech

Let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach

Onto Heaven and then nothing will be beyond us

When the Lord saw their work He said we must

Erase this ability and their language confound

Remove all communication so this will never abound

People must be scattered throughout the earth

Obviously God thought building so high would be of ill worth

We have come to see man repeating the Babel Tower’s history

Erecting Burj Dubai against all rational integrity

Refusing to use their money to help the many in need

This tower in Dubai, 2717ft is human violation indeed

One can see billions suffering with no food to eat

Water shortages, no cover to sleep and no shoes on their feet

Edifice this monstrous is empty power and pride

Real power comes from man 5ft tall who in the Lord chooses to confide
