Judas Sinned For Us All - By Mark Manning

Hanging out with Judas

Judas Sinned for us all

Don’t you moralise me standardise me

Sit in judicious smirky  prejudice

I come from a place where a lot of things don’t make sense

She swore at me from 4am staircase

This raging maenad

 

My heart was thumping

She tried to make me guilty for her sins of  norm  wanting

She cast my future in her warped world view

What was I to do but believe the conceiver

Take this guitar and beat me to death with it

Smashing it’s scraping twanging strings ‘gainst my bones and flesh scratching me out of existence

 

Cast out sinner never wishing to hurt but by being denied

Judas dangly glee swinging from a tree clasping his traitor’s horde in his sweaty remorseful paw

Flies buzzed and nobody gave a damn for he was damned ....hands up if you are too?

The morning crew chugged into a dawn streaked cove ,I could see them ..

Yet I was the one bloodsheet wrapped and weighted they slid me off the stern into  deep oblivion’s stygian cave

Don’t you moralise me standardise me

Sit in judicious smirky  prejudice

I come from a place where alot of things don’t make sense.

Nicely done. We shouldn't really be judging each other anyway, especially when there isn't anyone who hasn't done something that would be considered a sin. I really like your writing. Nicely done.
