For years we’ve seen Jerusalem defaced
By buildings that reflect this greedy age;
Her gentler features thus have been replaced
By blots and eyesores, prompting grief or rage.
And now, alas, an even greater stain
Has been produced by Mammon’s filthy claw:
Where Holy Land Hotel had humbly lain
There stands a tower no soul can well ignore.
As tallest, it the view will dominate –
Until some businessmen a mayor pay
To further seal the city’s sorry fate
By topping both Manhattan and LA.
   It’s time we taught our leaders to refuse
   The Holy Land with Babel to confuse.<\/p>\n
