Judas

the wrong messiah
meets his untimely death

no angels
laughing now

the stakes
have changed
all bets are off

bread and wine
off the menu

cancellation of
the last supper

judas
needs a therapist
not
thirty pieces
of silver

he’s really
outdone himself this time

am I missing an allegory?

or is this about the poor chump's suicide? Everyone knows Christianity could not exist without his betrayal, he should be a fucking saint to them. cheers, Jess
