<pre class="verse">Babel was a collaborative effort.
Once,
we all spoke the same language,
&nbsp; but on seeing god grow increasingly anxious with the rate of our progress,
&nbsp; &nbsp; we agreed to let our tongues be confused,
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; so that he could take things at a more comfortable pace,
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; and we could be assured he would not understand us unless we prayed in silence,
for only then do we speak the language of angels.</pre>
