Tower of Babel
When modern, popular, prevailing saws
Define the value of Mankind’s exploits
So that Judeo-Christian, moral laws
And science are considered maladroit,
We are a drifting, lost society,
Subject to vagaries of winds and tides
That, in the end, destroy communities
In ways that never can be put aright.
No strings of code that we devise will lead
Us from the wilderness. The path is faith,
And in its warm embrace, with firm belief
In our Creator, will we find our grace.
Only upon that firm and strong foundation
Can Man arise to guide a lasting Nation.
That should be recited in every pulpit - would that it could be.
This is powerful and deeply moving ...Your words are a reminder and a call. History has shown us again and again that great nations are not built on power or wealth alone — they are built on faith, on shared principles, on the understanding that we are accountable to something greater than ourselves. You've captured something that so many of us feel but struggle to put into words. Thank you!
