Judas and Me

April 6, 2020

Judas, Judas I understand you the​​ 

best of​​ all​​ the​​ disciples​​ for you wanted

what so many others yearned for,

you​​ sought​​ a connection to the savior

a relationship that could not be broken

but it was not going to happen,

the​​ Man​​ you followed was

going to move forward, become

the sacrifice, he would leave you

at the mercy of the others,

unprotected, unsure

of any future​​ and no place to put

your love for your leader

so​​ ​​ you sold your access,

your connection to your friend

not so much to betray him

although you did that,​​ too

but to keep from being the loser,

you taking the reins and loosing

the one that you loved before

you would be the one left alone,

but, of course, you felt the pang

of​​ remorse, the​​ sorrow for needing

your friend so much that you would

betray him and so​​ you tried to roll

back the scene, rewind the damage

but the religious would have​​ 

nothing of your remorse,

nothing of ​​ your sorrow,​​ 

rejected your regret

laughed​​ at your need.
