BABYLON

This city is Babylon.

The bells of sin ring out loud in every home,
In every heart brothels of desire,
Arches and pulpits,
The loud noise
of those who have strayed from the path.

There is just one difference
There is an angel here
who treats the guilty and innocent alike
hangs everbody
Upside down in the well.

This city is Babylon.
