Judas: A Friend of us all

 

Manchester Free Trade Hall

The faithful heard a fateful call

“Judas.” That friend of us all

 

Faith is that what we keep

Treachery is that we weep

That unjust friend of sleep

 

“I don’t believe you

Turn the frgging volume up

Like a Rolling Stone”

 

Born in darkness and of scorn

Out of such dramatic midwifery

History has a shamed nativity

 

Electrified the audience split

Obvious deceivers left the hall

And True Believers heard it all

 

The players sang the singers song

Watch towers came we went along

With Judas Jokerman and his Thief

 

When the war really kicks in

The comfort of silent anonymity

Is the shouting cowardly option

 

The way out of here is so oblique

The past is forward in another gear

An’ a Buick is a better car after a war

 

Forgiveness is the thing we seek

Prisoners aren’t worth the taking

Any day now ‘even Judas’ is released.

OMG!!!
I never have ever even thought to write that
Before about any work..
But I wanted to be authentic...and,
That truly was my first reaction..
This piece is amazing..
Provokes thought...
Blind truth ...
Searching for a doorway...
Or a portal...
But to what we don't know...
This is the best piece of work I have been privileged
To behold ...in quite awhile..
A new...fresh outlook..
Thank You
Debbie
