The Omega Man

She gazed into the northern sky and said unto herself, there is a storm coming....

They thought him odd; the philosophers and wisemen contemporary within their day

For not only did he abstain from the worlds ways but, he spent decades building a vessel

Warning them all as many simply laughed and mocked; shaking their heads whileas passing by

Just another day like every other day, amid this their sinful lives; trying to somehow imagine

An entire civilization, so immersed within something that I cannot seem to yet fathom; still

As unto how could this truly be that only one and one alone, be they counted worthy....

I have a feeling this could be Noah you are speaking of John, is it true? Building a vessel while others mocked him. Perfect! I love the way you tell the story - just enough mystery to keep us guessing ! :)
