Did he really think

did he really think

it was his place

to question the plan

the path of the Messiah

the plan, the way

of God, of our Savior

did he really think

he knew a better way

to hasten the kingdom

the reign of God

to precipitate action

His rule established

Christ upon the throne

the enemies vanquished

all according

to Judas’ plan

the reign of God

in God’s own time

what hubris, what arrogance

to hasten the Lord

what was he thinking,

no, really, Judas. . .

did he think he could push

our sovereign Lord?
