How the Wisdom of God Alone Can Sustain Us - Short Story

 Alpha the rugged ship was taking a tour of the seas. He dreamt of sailing into pirated lands full of wonder, danger and challenge. He dreamt of saving people from flaming volcanoes, and wrecked out on shore crying S.O.S. He was a freak wannabe, a lover of games and fun He loved the people as they rested under the sun.

 The rough seas were his lifeline, he trusted them to sail on Winds or turbulence or hailstorm, he was all too sure to go on. A novice though in life, he feared no harm would ever touch him. He was built real tough, strong and hardy And not one could match his punk The day he sailed the first time was a cool one But the day was getting filled with troubles one-by-one The water loomed, they lashed, they furled Alpha braved on, he wouldn't bat an eyelid His confidence only stood up, oh this was a real boon He was fit as a tambourine, to drum the finest tune. 

I'm so ravishing, an eagle would be my only match I have eyes so sharp for combat, to see the enemy afar My sails are sturdy to take me a million miles I wonder if I were an eagle, I would reach the ancient stars My charisma is unparalleled, I love to rant and rave Show me if you can even come as close But an eagle came close to the sails, And rent it in two... Alpha panicked, he wasn't hoping for that He travelled on as fast as he could But could not go much ahead His sails could no longer Keep him sailing on Oh what doom, he didn't need a raging storm Only placid waters and a destiny To show him the place he feared. 

Oh what pity a giant ship like Alpha Was pulled out of sea by a bird Even the mighty come down to tatters Even the swift and the smooth come to loss The main thing is always wisdom It will be the answer to all doom Alpha would have mattered If he'd used a crew to guard him He relied instead on his strength His power and poise and avarice Couldn't withstand the test His motives weren't lofty or noble He was just prideful and ignoble. So little children, be wary Be wise and be cheery Be sure to make wisdom your friend And you will be quick and fast to zoom Hedged in and well-protected from doom!
