Three days and three nights in a fish
Is more sushi than one might wish
But God had a plan

To analeyes how fish tails swish...

If it had been your Lord’s will; then
All things on earth would have believed, all of them!

Until they become believers!...

Too often, I find, you’ve fallen behind
Brightly, you shine, at end of the line
More passion than most
Intensely you boast 
Embrace your design, in a world, unkind...

At the computer sits Dickie McDuff
Searching a password that isn't too tough
    With a cocky demeanor
    He types in 'mywiener'
And the computer says "Not long enough!"...

Through the front Mr. Jonah was swallowed.
In the sea monster’s belly he wallowed.
In the muck and the gas
unhygienic, alas,
was the back door expulsion that followed....

Romantic Ramona from Verona
     Fell hard for a matador named Jonah
        She hopped on a plane
        Headed straight for Spain
     Found out Jonah lived in Arizona...

They were also there always 
In a sense, and out of sense 
Deep as a prowling tiger sifting in and out of a constant flow, 
As if to be a river.

Lying flat on our backs
Parallel to the sky
Both completely relaxed
Lying flat on our backs
Naming clouds that go by
Just sweet Jonah and I
Lying flat on our backs
Parallel to the sky...

Listen! Allah is the Owner of all things
In the skies and the earth
Worshipping others as His partners has no good reason
They follow nothing but wild imagination
And they lie in old fashion....

No one believes unless Allah wishes and
He casts dirt of doubt on those who don’t understand!

Say, Behold all that is in the skies and earth 
But neither signs nor warnings benefit those who believe not!...

who am I?
why ask why?
we're all matter on the scale
some will pass others will fail
we'll pray and go to church
fearful of Satan's torch
some say fairy tale
Jonah met the whale
God is here
don't have fear...

If Allah do any harm to you
No one else but Allah can remove it
If He wants to do some good to you
There’s none to keep back His favors a bit
He gives it to the servants of His liking
And He is the Most Forgiving Merciful Being....

Christ bearing Dove, wind-blown, sail
On, beyond the Flood's deep, to
Land. In nativity's bay,
Under the low sun rising,
Maria sinks, childbearing.
Between the Virgin and land,
Uprising from whale's belly,
She bears Jonah to the day....

Jonah, praying in the great fish,
with putrid slime on red eyelids,
has the sudden faith
of near death -
sings on the beach,
fish-vomit in his beard.

Whale-songs drift,
doubts echo, 
luring a pod to sand spits
where waves throw up  bones.

Between Rock and A Hard Place

Johan you want to avoid and duck,
Who had been bringer of bad luck;
Whale of a deal,
And real steel;
Between rock and hard place are stuck.

When Jonah Awoke

Before going to sleep his feet he did soak;
Then Jonah decided he would tell a joke;
Could hardly believe,
Dream would receive;
Was swallowed by a whale when he awoke.

He claims he was born,
without any summon
from his mother,
or a message from his
ancestors’ gods.

He feels like Jonah,
after he was forcefully
swallowed by a big fish.

He believes this world
is not his destination.
His face tells that he was
not ready to be born....

Woe to the city of blood,
full of lies,
full of plunder,
never without victims!

Nahum 3:1 NIV

FORGETTING JONAH

Nineveh suffers.
turn your back...don’t feel sorry.
how the mighty cry
in their evil-wicked ways.
mercy long, not forever…
