the tower was their plan to preserve for posterity
the power in the man of antediluvian prosperity
seven stages corresponding with the planetary scene
made of kiln dried bricks in color and they're telling what they mean
black at the base which was Saturn representin'
Jupiter's stage: orange, red for Mars, and on it went
surmounted by an upward lofty tower to a summit
observation of the stars occurs each hour -- wisdom plummets --
it wasn't good intention
and did I fail to mention?
it wasn't good because it's based upon mob rule dissension
so the language was confused
collaboration snoozed
and the common language speakers had their separate point of views
so the zigguraut convention was convened, and then diffused
they went their separate ways
until the end of days
when there would be one flock one shepherd to ammend their ways...
Smecke laid mosaics till the floor was done
in elaborate algebraics in the noon day sun
translucent so at night the lower lights emitted
producing astronomic art through each piece that he fitted
it was a step up from the brick work that he'd always done before
and the sweet taste of success drove him on, desiring more
he'd worked and gained respect as he completed every chore
till the day this speech-defect sent him through the laid-off door
Wisdom's not just something that you get from eating tablets
it's not from reading books and reciting as you blab it
it's not from trying every thing and saying you've been there
it's doing what is right with what you know and how you care
