O Judas Iscariot
Expect ye not
A golden chariot
To carry ye to heaven's door.
For what reason ye might say?
"Tis because of thy brother
Ye were paid to betray.
Thirty pieces of silver
For only a moment at Gethsemane.
If asked of now, was it worth thy fee?
For a handful of dirty coins
Ye gave thy brother to those who cared not
For the precious life ye sold
And they bought.
O Judas Iscariot
Ye ended thy own life upon a bitter tree
For thirty pieces of silver
And thy part at Gethsemane.

Penni, today Judas is still receiving his 30 pieces of silver. Seems there is a Judas reborn every minute wherer Christ is concerned. And I cannot exclude myself. Happy Easter. Bill Murray
