I hear your murmurings from above
Your thoughts I perceive
As I hear the rain
For you climb higher and higher
In hopes of reaching me
Your curses I judge from a distance
For I know your words and deeds
You seek to reach the heavens
Your spirit you hearken onto me
For you climb higher than before
Brick upon brick
Mortar upon mortar
You seal it with ignorance
You fashion it with pride
But you will not reach me
I am who I am
And your words I shall confound
Your tongues I shall twist
For none have asked my permission
You shall not reach my perch
Your tower shall weaken
For it is built upon greed
Your patchwork shall crumble
Your cement shall not bond
For I will twist your words
And I shall tie your tongues
For I am who I am

I really quite like this one. And I felt rather smart as I actually knew the subject matter story, one of my favorite biblical stories actually. You did it justice, well done!

Man is still trying to build their own Tower of Babel, but God says there is only one way to reach Him, and that is through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Good write.
