No Salvation

One great betrayal, always destined to be
One fated man, who never will be free
Thirty silver coins, lying on the ground
Bought the field of blood, where strangers may be found

One lonely outcast, who was too blind to see
One final act, left him hanging from a tree
No salvation, for this man, who has sinned
Body and soul forever, twisting in the wind

very good! I like your phrasing, your choice of words is excellent (which is an oft overlooked talent. I'll point our a typo because I would hope to get the same in return... the first "to" in L5should be "too". Great work, great topic - Kevin

An awesome tribute to the one who is worthy, Nick. I just noticed your last name is the same name of a Dam in Missouri. I am not sure if it is spelled the same way. A dam holds a lot of water, "water of the word" Smile. Thanks for your comments today. Have a nice weekend. Agape, Moses

This is a chilling way to read of the betrayal of all times. Very provoking to go read this, at this moment, but when the fate of our world was written Judas could not unwind the terrible sin he cast. The torment of his betrayal got to him, and your poem perfects the moment upon his own death. Enjoyed and have a wonderful day,..Sidney LeeAnn
