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
