Judas
Thirty pieces of silver.
Was it worth that –
or more?
Would you have done it
for less?
Believing that you were part of the plan,
Believing perhaps that He had lost his nerve
And wouldn’t rise up
In all His glory to bring about
The New Jerusalem.
And how did you feel
when it all went
wrong?
When the beginning you thought would come about
appeared to be
the End?
Your whole world crumbled,
Broken shards of confidence
Of what you held so dear
Of what you thought you knew.
Were you so distraught
That the meaning of your life had gone
So that
to continue breathing
was not to continue living?
And when your anguish overcame you
And you chose to die,
Did you ever, for one
heart-stopping moment,
believe that ~
despite it all ~
the end was the beginning,
And the death was
the start of Life itself
