Verses before the ruins of 16th century Bacarra bell tower (Ilocos Norte)

Tower of Babel, biblical but true;
lofty Eiffel will have its time, too.

Tower of Babel, biblical but true;
lofty Eiffel will have its time, too.
stairway to heaven is man's dream
the god in him to claim God's realm.


The sun peeps behind this huge tower
once proud in its prime;
I can not wait nor my children can
to see it succumb in time.  

 




Where have all the faithful gone?
The prayerful old and young;
pilgrims come one by one
to fill the emptiness of time.







History marks the march of time
in events big and small
by the hand that holds the pen 
and the magic crystal ball.
