Toyin’

Much babbling babel!

Talking and shouting abound;

Destructive babel.

Nothing’s getting accomplished!

With shaking head, God chuckles.

“Welcome to the Tower of Babel” – an original Tanka by HitchHiker inspired by our present condition and the hubris of humanity as illustrated in Genesis 11:1-9

“Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.” Genesis 11:7
