And what, I ask - in short words - is hubris Does it kick into effect at fifteen cubits No - don't consult - it's no esoteric prod Friend - just that Chapter 7:20 - you'll find a lot Of water. But I refer humbly to the Tower As a man who - several thousands of feet up Found himself hailed in nonsense by his foreman And didn't get his urgency and now - thump Faces this judiciary; this fudged charge Obscured in piled renditions and translations Were our hands dirty with asphalt, slime, or bitumen And were we children toiling there, or were we men And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower In which I was involved - and the Lord said, Behold The people are one, and they have all one language And this they begin to do; and nothing will Be withheld from them, which they have imagined to do A self-made bed if ever one was bemoaned Survivors - toughened and resolved to build Through collective loss and not be owned By terror... Covenant? In those bulging clouds You may enjoy your covenant, sir; I find I Like bricks... "Hubris"?... Well... swings and roundabouts Swings and... you twist my words! HUBRIS I'll find my own way out
