The face of Judas

Betrayal of Christ

To see the face of Judas

and not the face of Christ

in one's own earthly mother

is a pitiable sacrifice.

 

Selling out the children

for some false security

from the earthly father

living critical pedagogy

 

Martyrdom disguising

as a valiant gift of self

blindfolds on the children

pin the donkey on the tail

 

A dose of double standard

to keep them dizzy while

the parents twisted merger

points the children straight to hell

 

Discouragement a tactic

to keep the children down

Until the blindfolds loosened

and the children are unbound

 

Gladiator games no more

The children are full grown

A mirror shows the face of Christ

true love, not hearts of stone

 

(A work still in progress)

 

Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not:         for of such is the kingdom of God' (Mark 10:13-14)

 

"And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord" (Eph. 6:4).

 

Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will recieve me.  Psalm 27:10
