The Tower of language fell to Babel (Parsha Noah)

After the flood and its devastation,

Noah emerged from the ark to a new world.

The rainbow painted a symbol of hope,

That gave humanity a new beginning.

 

Instead of conquering the ego,

Humanity lost its moral compass,

Without consideration of purpose,

To build a tower to reach the heavens.

 

Unity in humanity was lost.

Bricks and mortar became more important,

Than lives of those lost in construction.

Human frailty gave way to arrogance.

 

Disregard of values lost sight of Spirit.

The tower of language fell to Babel!
