 Sodom and Tomorrow
An old man named Ezekiel had clarified the morality tale; a tale that had been old and retold even when he had been a young lad.
It was a message that was understood everywhere by people who were reliant upon the help of others: ancient bush travellers who relied on their mates for survival; or modern astronauts living aboard space ships whose lives were intertwined and interdependent.

Just as the North was fighting for the freedom of the slaves from the South, Luke was fighting for freedom from his tyrannical father, Ezekiel.
Just as Abraham Lincoln is "the Captain" in Whitman's poem who navigates his worn-torn country through the atrocities of war, "the Captain" in Ritter's Choosing Up Sides could be: Annabeth, Uncle Micah, Skinny Lappman, or others.
Just as Whitman's poem is a metaphor for Abraham Lincoln, your poem will be a metaphor for one character in Ritter's novel or a template for expressing some of the conflicts revealed in the plot.
