Babylon

Crooks all,
Witness to another fall,
Of Babylon,
Modern,
Our society,
So sure of itself,
Without any reason,
Save our own ignorance,
Incompetence, intolerance,
Should I keep going?
All the while knowing,
The virus is growing,
Because the seeds that we’re sowing,
And Babylon’s fall,
Its harvest time,
Under a harvest moon,
With an atomic glow,
One dirty bomb at a time,
One derailment,
No sense of finality, yet,
Though each side salivates,
Terrorist, politician and me,
Our society,
Global,
Jaded,
Through rules we’ve created,
Crooks all,
And Babylon will fall.
