Jesus Christ, my teacher, my Lord.
Judas Iscariot, my student, my friend.
I have betrayed you whom I've adored.
It was foretold this would be my end.
Thirty silver coins was the price named.
A trifle sum for the life of your King.
I gladly accepted with greed untamed.
A new era your betrayal will bring.
Though Satan possessed my body and mind.
For his temptation, I can attest.
Only I can be blamed for your life consigned.
But true devout faith he cannot best.
With this greatest mistake I cannot live.
My son, a graver error you now make.
Over to Hell my soul I now give.
Forgiveness could have been yours to take.
All shall know the grim truth of my sin.
Prophecy fulfilled, but my heart does weep.
As I release the blasphemy within.
For your damned soul I cannot save or keep.
Written April, 2009 after doing an Easter Bible study and re-watching The Passion. Kind of an inner dialogue of Judas and Jesus.
