Have you ever hung on a Judas tree? <br />You do that when you slander me. <br />You swing when cheat you do…and lie <br />And when your neighbours you deny. <br />For I provide a bounteous splendour <br />Of leaf and grove and shady arbour. <br />There is no war amongst nature’s friends; <br />‘Tis only man who twists and bends <br />life’s funny ways to suit himself. <br />So Judas face and Judas tree – <br />they’re not the same <br />At least to me.<br /><br />Margaret Kollmer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-judas-tree-by-rosemary-d/
