Judas staked his life for pittance in avarice <br />Joisted on a beam for derision and dishonor <br />Juxtaposed with thieves to corrupt his piety <br />Javelin taunts ribbed him of water and blood <br />Jesse’s root wrenched with pincers of hatred. <br /> <br />Earmarked eons before time as divine offering <br />Earnestly walked the path to the kindled altar <br />Entreaties of allies forsaken with wisdom of old <br />Echelons of religion stacked charges in unison <br />Effusions of loathing drowning all compassion. <br /> <br />Stripped of the robe of dignity for worthless wit <br />Striped for empty offences to fill envious desires <br />Strapped in ignorant mirth to fulfill heaven’s fiat <br />Strikes of pain from minions questioned his deity <br />Silence loudly responded to mystify foes and fiends. <br /> <br />Unpopular among brethren who stalked him as prey <br />Unbridled tongues in concert rallied words of infamy <br />Untamed mouths spewed forth blasphemies as fervor <br />Untainted but polluted by vile words spoken in folly <br />Unscathed by rude jeers of chained prisoners of Sin. <br /> <br />Subordinated deity faltered in agonized steps to victory <br />Suborned clique danced to orchestrated music of victory <br />Suicide played a defeating hand to traitor in real victory <br />Sanhedrin deftly wove a carpet of lies for mock victory <br />Sirens of celestial hosts blared to proclaim eternal victory. <br /> <br /> Just ever so unjustly slain.<br /><br />Chukuemeka Akpe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jews-ennui-still-universe-s-savior/
