The center of the flesh

Babylon, a place of Man
the center of the flesh
unholy worship
thinking we are better
equal to God

The place of Nimrod
of Nebuchadnezzar
of Babel by the Tigris
the Euphrates
the place of the flesh

A symbol of our past
a warning for our future
the center of the flesh
of rebellion from God
in the name, the place, Babylon
