Dear World


* Spirit Of Jesus pray for me
* Moses pray for me
* Saints pray for me

+--------Dear World; (OUR) NEW WORLD ORDER  (OF LINGUISTICS)

At first we didn’t need to
talk to one another we
just knew. Cohesion our
language, the way two lovers
stare united at each other for a kiss,
briefly lost in time, in slight simpers.
But now our tongues are distinct,
our minds can’t colonize the same
space. Like we walk oppositely,
to contrary ends of a flat, stern,
cursed earth. Antediluvian notions
of us, of community: architecture of
jargon – an epic tower of unfinished
grandeur we left behind dusty,
on joy-scaffolds in a haste of sudden
awkward silence. When I think of you
I think of Babel, our fond memories
a city I pray we revisit  soon.

------Genesis 11
Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel —because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
