WHY BETRAY

Folder: 
Easter

 

Was it greed?

Was it jealousy?

What did lead

Judas to betray

The Messiah?

Oh, how he zealously

chased thirty pieces

of putrid silvah'.

Oh, for the increases

in his wallet

he selfishly did pollute

his very own soul.

His heart, like coal

was darkened with the soot

of selfish burning desires.

Oh, why do we become liars

like Judas. Is it greed?

Is it jealousy?

Why do we betray

The Messiah?

Chasing selfish gain

only leads to total loss.

So, why do we sin?

Why do we betray

The Messiah?
