Judas-cup

Jesus was betrayed,
by his close and trusted.
Jesus forgave him,
and the spear that thrusted.

The cup that Jesus drank from,
we call the Holy Grail.
But Judas, the betrayer,
drank also with the meal.

Hitler had the Golden Cup,
had power over millions.
But as with Jesus his betrayel,
came within his very own legions.

Many hands have held it,
throughout the many ages.
And back-stabbing has tailed it,
through our history pages.


This was my first poem published on poetry.com - but either I'm very good or they'll just publish any shit. I tested this theory by writing Lightness which then got me into their Who's who compilation. What a load of bollox. I wonder if they even read the shit that gets sent in! I think I also wrote this somewhere in the 90s.
