Babel
What if it IS as simple
As God destroying a tower
And scattering the power hungry
who built it?
What if They saw
an oppressive system
Being born
On the backs
Of slaves
And said
NO.
And this example lived on
But everyone missed the point
As if reaching for the Divine was the problem
We know how projects of ego are built
We who have been stepped on to build them
We who have been mouthpieces to build them
Who were groomed to obey
Who were forced to obey
As if reaching for the Divine was the problem

Love the refrain
