Judas

Leather hide-wild eye
What should I do
Blackened mind
Borrowed time
Trading pieces 
Of myself 
For thirty silver coins


The Kiss of Judas

Feeling the sting of his acidic lips
Judas sold his story to the highest bidder
To save himself
One more time
Crushing the wings of the angel
He professed to love
For one more day in the land of Oz
Eternally searching for his soul

Judas Thaddeus

I heard
what you said
But not
what you meant

Your words
but a smokescreen
Belying
 intent

Each one
deftly crafted
To lure
and delude

Anointing 
your weakness
Blaspheming 
— Saint Jude

Mom Is Judas

no wonder my trust
'is nothing but rust

they say I'm too serious
but never delirious 

its my humor that got me through
and those years drinking that strong brew

no matter what'
wasn't a squat
 
my mom is a saint
but to me she ain't

Premium Member Judas Has Fallen

His trust was betrayed

We followed dismayed

It's not surprising

Judas is rising

Now nailed on a cross

His death was our loss

There's no disguising

Judas is rising

In shame there he stands

With blood on his hands

Justice is calling

Judas is falling

Listen to poem:
In the Blood of Eternal Power
David J Walker

Judas 
	Who would sell
His savior 
For silver

Nicodemus 
	Who would
Find rebirth 
In the earth and
	A river

And me 
	I spend 
my time 
In the flow of 
A shower 

	Hour by hour
Cleaned of sin
The world let in
In the blood of
	Eternal power

Judas

Thou not from Israel
yet Israel like
to sell our heads
in the name of yahoo

To say I am from this clan
is like to say I am leprous
in Elisa’s clan
in the sight of macoys

Denying me chapter Iv
of our supreme book
making me more black than I am
lets break their records

Their record of unequalness
For all animals are equal.

Judas

Thirty pieces he took in vain;
the devil's price;  a soul to gain.
A kiss not warm but deadly cold,
for the only one death could not hold.
Look, my children, you will see,
the traitor hangs from a red bud tree.
Bloated body from head was torn;
better for him, he'd not been born.
A moments riches all for naught;
a potters field was all he bought.

Premium Member My Name Is Judas

All of the apostles forsook him.
Peter denied him.
I betrayed him.

Jesus never stopped loving us.
I gave him a kiss of death.
He still called me friend.

Peter was later convicted
And cried bitter tears.
He returned to his Lord.
I acknowledged my wrong,
But  refused to live with myself.

Peter received God's forgiveness.
His name is loved by thousands.
I never sought God's forgiveness.
Do you know any who have my name?

Judas How Could You

Judas, how could you betray the Son of Man with a kiss for thirty pieces of silver? Judas, how could you not see that you were with the Messiah sent to offer us God's love? Judas, how could you recline in the upper room with the Son of God and then run to evil to plan his capture and death? Judas, how could you have not known you were part of God's plan to sacrifice himself for the atonement of all of man's sins future and past? Judas how could you.....

Premium Member Jesus And Judas

Unlike Adam, Satan was not made from clay
One day, he chose to go his own way

He appeared to Judas with very little to say
Not even to say, 'Hey'

Nor did he come to play
Not even for a day

He did not come to pray
But only to create disarray

Could  Judas have said. 'Nay'?
Or was it too cloudy and grey?

Jesus said,  'woe', to him who would betray
Upon his heart, guilt would forever lay

Jesus called Judas, 'Friend'
But that was before Satan entered in

Judas' Carrion

Judas’ Carrion
	

Gossiping in such a furtive manner
Determined to raise success’ banner
Murmuring eloquently in the dark
Calumny where there’s no spark,

In the coven of conspiracy gather
Passing the Cup of Hate to another
Greedily imbibing to quench thirst
Competing to see who wins first....

To the contrary, let God be blessed:
He’s not with limitations distressed
When from another we plan to steal
To the affected He plans to heal!!

Judas Kiss

His threads soaked in blood 
Dismantled ricassos line his back
His tear filled eyes he shuts 
The sky above him black 
Anger fused with sorrow
Heavy stones on his heart 
What good can come of tomorrow 
When thy life’s been torn apart 
The latter-day Caesar 
Against the avant-garde council 
Says farewell to the dreamer 
That dwelled in the fictitious castle 
For what he was has died 
And what he’ll become unknown 
Adieu...farewell...goodbye 
He’ll walk the broken path
Alone
