One From Many Escaped the Belly Of The Whale

One From Many Escaped the Belly Of The Whale
(aka Epluribus Unum Evadit Alvum Balaenae)
by Robert Paul Gass (aka Imagines Vinco aka Ultionem Vinco)
As Jonah sinned the demons followed close
To cause the guilt perversion brings to souls
Impure as toxins' water feels in gross
The mixtures gut of whale to drain as bowls.
For forty days the prophet Jesus tempts
The death of all travails with roots of trees
To eat and enter state his mind exempts
The fate of Roman tortures fire as fees.
The Captain Ahab John the Brown to love
With open arms and prophesy the war
Of slaughter over slaves to take as dove
Of Venus mourning Moby Dick as corps.
The sermons spoken lured to gut of whale
As captain sent the corps for skin of pale.
