Kiss of Judas

A poem about betrayal, and hypocrisy.

You say you’re a Christian but confused Judas and Jesus
Coming not to save but to deceive us
Replacing love with betrayal and support with greed
Materialistic desires become your only need
Aesthetics, your vanity, the deadliest sin
The cause of Lucifer’s rebellion and all evil within
Morningstar, dawn-bringer, the most beautiful of all
Selfish, arrogant and doomed to fall
So you attempt to see in others the flaws you bear
To break them down after you pretend to care
And smile as you convince them they’re more wretched than you
Too consumed by indolence to climb, you have others fall too
From saviour to serpent, you taint us with the truth
Of the coldness in your heart, of your lack of ruth
You would do anything to ignore your own faults
To continue your process and ignore the results
So now you grow frustrated because you know that it’s true
I don’t believe in God, but I’m still a better Christian than you
