Bound To Fail

Like demon possessed
Taking no rest
Building the tower ahead
Founded on science
Unholy alliance
The mental life suffers instead

Pushing on faster
Head into disaster
The tower sways up to the spire
Eternal erection
With no satisfaction
Symbol of misled desire

Aiming heaven
Approaching hell
Blinded by greed and deceit
Inflicted by karma
Extending the drama
The harvest of yesterday's seed

Life's meaning descending
With no comprehension
Mysterious enigma unsolved
In one-way direction
Just forcing the action
Mankind is one-sided evolved

A morbid monument arising
A monolith
That shall prevail
No synchronicity with nature's law
Unstable
Bound to fail
