Okay, which brings us back to our Lord being human-like,
since as a kid,
I didn’t perceive very kindly of the Great Flood tale,
yet I was fairly ignorant to realize better,
considering how I thought the biblical writers portrayed God,
akin to a stupid menace,
then of course quite empathetically,
most folks, and especially children,
will probably utterly miss these visions wrapped in sublime delight,
just oozing merrily out of bullies and their precious grand ilk.
Now, one reason the chronicle had me fuming,
is because I lacked knowledge of metaphors,
so I sorely mistook the story as literal,
when instead, it’s purely symbolic,
and this massive deluge idea could still easily count,
merely substituted with any catastrophic disaster,
even that of nuclear weaponry.
The account simply warns about a vicious turn life may release,
if we allow ourselves to degenerate,
under wrongheaded behavior into an absolutely corrupt society,
while its meager characters of Noah and his family,
represent logical people who more keep isolated,
largely free and safe of an otherwise abysmal widespread condition,
hidden in a secure area from what must amount to as sheer global madness,
for as long as the extreme depravity lasts,
displaying forty days is only an arbitrary calculation of purging needed,
by waiting through enough beyond the plague,
our heroes emerge across their world once again,
slowly beginning to repopulate it after a mighty lesson is gleaned.
