I Alone

Only I have survived

Lonely an orphan in this world

Cast out, I am Esau

Last of the prodigal sons

Noah that survived the flood

Jonah from the belly of the whale

Protected Daniel in the lion's den

Resurrected Lazarus returned

Abel killed by his brother

Table set for me Elija

Fed by the ravens

Dead No, I shall return

two poems in one...

one a reflection of the other...like a call/response piece.
I like the two sides split...juxataposed to one another.

Thank you Jacob, I was trying to find a way to emphasize the rhyme of the first word in a line, as you know the emphasis is seldom of the first word so it goes unnoticed. A punctuation mark doesn't always work so I thought of just splitting them. I know too much time on my hands.
