Burj Khalifa

Poem in rhyming quatrains

Burj Khalifa

 

A tower reaching for the sky

The tallest in the world they say.

The tiny country of Dubai

 is very proud they can display

 

A master piece in steel and glass

 A building that must be world class

A  tower meant to demonstrate

 the power of this little State.

 

Luxury writ unashamed

Which some think can be blamed

 for wrecking the economy.

Which could be true quite possibly.

 

Dubai is asking time to pay

the debts incurred along the way

It could be that they aimed to high

 and now they’re forced to question why.

 

The Tower of Babel was destroyed.

They say because God was annoyed

at the arrogance of men.

Dubai has dared to try again.
