Tragedy In Black

Sanhedrin's dark secret 
obsession.
Jealousy brewed within them. 
A traitor betrays the most
high. Set forth on this epic
black night.
Roman soldiers are led and
arrest Jesus.
Judas realizes what he's done,
and cries out," I have committed
a terrible sin!" Silver pieces
thrown, at the high priest. As 
guilt overwhelms him.
He escapes his torment.
Swaying in the wind, hanging
from a Redbud tree.
