in the belly of a whale

If you fail to hearken,
if your heart is hardened,
to the counsel of wisdom,
you shall be caught up in
the wave of the storm,
.
you shall spin to the
bottom of the sea, beyond
low stratum -at random,
undulating and modulating.
.
If you try to sail and swim,
out of the fathom of the deep
dark sea, you shall perceive
a thing like giant phantom,
.
looking for your obstinate self
to gulp. there's a prison in the
belly of the whale to incarcerate
a recalcitrant child like you.
