Noah
The 9th descendant of Adam
He lived during a disaster he couldn’t fathom
He was chosen by God, contrary to fantasm
And lived nearly 1,000 years, transcending a phantom
Surviving the storm from the flood in the chatham
Alluding to events which form a chiasm
Including leading his ark, including the bantam
Following the flood water hitting the stratum
Weathering through the mark of wrath, events are not random
A confirmation of benevolence interpreted through oppression of Canaan
While Ham leaves a curse on Noah’s son Canaan
To forever integrate with the Biblical datum
