SONNET 49 Babylon
Babel’s tower, tribute to Prophet Moses
Babel the slavery empire where souls did beseech their lords
Like gods who enslaved them to build on earth a kingdom heavenly.
If this be the gates of God the Lord must be queenly
And the speech of God is the freedom of speech.
Mon amour know that if I had a tower to build
You shall be the ideal model, by you one sees the true tale of Babel
and glossolalia where liberty, independence was sought from the
imperialist by slave colonies like in Nigeria speaking diverse
tongues and other colonies who in anarchy like in Babel fought to
be free, and like you the dreadful beauty of the uprising
Wild with uncontrollable ecstasy, they rise up in arms,
In solidarity moved with the ‘watchword at heavensgate’
And fought to give the heartless lords a wound for a heart.
