Tower to Babel, originally uploaded by Thorsten Becker.
We keep on stacking
Where wisdom is lacking
Coin upon coin
And bill upon bill
Just for the thrill
Until
It all comes tumbling down.
And broken is a mighty crown
Made of paper and tin
Its foundation proved too thin.
We keep on building the tower of babel
We keep forgetting about things that are stable:
Joy, love, happiness
Stop, pause, recess.
They cannot be bought
But have to be sought
Amongst the people who share
With tender care
Their hearts, open and bare.
