30 Pieces of Silver

Been gone for way to long Wasting away on borrowed time Piece together my silent frown Misery has robbed my gentle grace Hate every stagnant aspect of life Children abandoned scared and ashamed Walking streets they cannot trust Dealer on every garbage corner Junkie pan handles another quarter Everyone has their hand out Promised land Rich with Milk and Honey Frozen earth bleeds and weeps Garden of Eden lost to man Ever wonder what happened to Calvary Love one another as I have loved you A man just like me Flesh of my Flesh Died to self for you and me Reaching out He said... 'Please Father forgive them... for they not what they do' Piercing His side He was left to die This is world is not my home He did arise A wanderer passing through On a journey to represent Love the wounded heal the sick serve the poor share His faith Drench this barren land with love.. Jesus style.
