Alas, Babylon

We live in Babylon World

as the tower crumbles in 

slow motion around us.

The tower of "Great Society".

The tower of "Brave New World".

The oxymoron tower of "New 

World Order".

The hope of the Renaissance

has fallen.

The hope of the Industrial 

Revolution has fallen.

The hope of the Twentieth

Century has fallen.

The hope of Scientific

Materialism has fallen.

The Great Order is a great

disorder.

The USA gets to be the leader

of the world's demise by default,

because it was so successful.

Mark Twain wrote: "It is no wonder

the truth is stranger than fiction.

Fiction has to make sense."

We babble to ourselves because

we can't speak to each other.

We babble because we don't see

each other.

Political correctness means there's

plenty of discriminalization 

for everyone.

We are the same, the way soap box

orators are the same.

Suits and ties can barely contain

the homelessness inside.

A Coke machine releases a

stick of dynamite.

A wolf bursts into flame.
