Tower of Babel
Our pending affairs with the old Tower of Babel are returning
in the meanwhile the wars for language are coming.
The engineers arranged the combat they want.
Smeared languages of grim colors,
as a flag their name carry the barbaric languages and the official ones.
The language hardens in the struggle and the language of the body is turned down.
Banished almost completely.
Little understood.
Dialogue of the skin, it is forbidden to talk about.
Debugging: A single language ensures the domain that we will call Unity.
Presumably, the total power is assured by a language of universality.
We will call this Uniqueness.
It is the unstoppable road. War between languages.
Waste of blood shed for loving the different word.
Different repertoires of meanings, icons, forms...
A single color at the time of naming things, as a first step.
A single color on the skin of all men, as a first step.
White, legal, good, straight, noble, right, superior, divine.
Black, illegal, bad, crooked, vulgar, left, inferior, animal.
One: correct, positive, true
Zero: incorrect, negative, false
1.0
0.1
We will call this the Higher Language.
It will be invented for the children of the future.
They will use it when we are gone.
Far from men, they will sit next to God.
We will name this, Singularity.
Towards the One Always! Behind we’ll leave Humanity!
Wanting to conquer the whole, the total, the circle, the cycle, the life, the elements,
the Silence and Time
and also to hold them tight;
How will the different languages get together in love?
Tower of Babel, monument that speaks of the past,
Won't colors and skins generate new words?
Between the whole and the nothing, is not mixing possible?
You keep celebrating the greatest sins of man.

I really like this poem, @leveuf! I had to really ponder and think about it to understand what it was saying; not because your English was lacking, but because of the depth of meaning. You did a great job throughout!
In one of the stanzas I think there are some other options for a few of the words that you could consider for better flow.
