Very good writing about Babylon. It made me remember what it says about it in the Bible. Your words are truth to me. Shows deep thinking.

Hi Bicpen,

Interesting tale, the verse taken from Revelations makes stirring poetry. The verse is allegorical and aimed at the prideful and godless.

I liked your take on it and you see to have captured the allegory nocely.

Great poem. Brave subject to tackle. The metre is good, the rythmn helping the poem to flow correctly. It works as a poem so well.

I believe that Babylon, is America I believe we have found enemy and enemy ourselves, not only to ourselves but to the creation of mankind, and if we don't turn around the trend of corruption and deception we will become the enemies of the world. I'm not sure this is what you meant but this is my perception of what I've read. Alexander

This piece is deep and filled with Bible-based metaphors. The repetitions work well to emphasize the strong statements of condemnation.
"Woe, to Babylon: Babylon the whore...!"
Well done.

Interesting poem. It really had a song quality to it. Maybe not my favourite style and I found the use of 'whore' a tad overdone, and a bit out of place in certain aspects. Just a personal thing, I'm sure.

Good job.
