In the Whale of Delusion

God only knows why I’m down here
In this darkened and horrible place,
Swallowed by the whale of delusion
And longing for light on my face

I’m down in this pit of a belly-
Of a monster so giant and vast,
If I can crawl up thru the bile
I’ll hang onto an anchor that lasts.

I’m tossed thru the waves by this monster
And spit out in the sea for a spell
Then swallowed and gulped like a rag doll
Back into the caverns of hell.
