Census

by Ian Probstein - Not entered

A secret universal census is in progress.
What is the native tongue 
of the builders of the Tower of Babel?
What is the birth rate in Tyre?
the Death rate in Gomorrah?
the life span in Sodom?
Is there a righteous man?

The angels are flying,
doing a secret census
before it's time to reveal the results.

Reason for writing:

    Contemplation on the history of mankind and human nature
