To this end my eyes cannot be trusted
For light can fool the mind and tell a lie,
Ears may with untruth be split and dusted
As flowers pollenated by the hive;
Something more than truth, something more than faith
I need to set my trembling soul at ease,
Are you a man or simply but a wraith?
Forgive me, Teacher, I must be appeased;
Remove your robe and bear to me your wounds
And show to me the work of Roman hate,
Through tattered flesh permit my fingers move
Past skin and bone, past muscle, past your fate.
The proof requested, given without pause,
My need for it: the most human of flaws.

Kiss my end as in yours this is thrusted
Though posts may fool the masses with sweet lies,
Copied lit is never to be trusted,
Spreaded shit will make the flowers rise;
Something less than truth, asking more than faith
You need to open wide upon your knees,
Are you a man or simply 'thuch an athe'?
Forgive me, oh-boy, for this, pretty-please;
Remove your dress and bare for me your ass
And show to me the source of all your wit,
Past tattered sac permit my fist into
The birthplace of this poem, amongst your shit.
The enema requested, without paws
Your need for it: against all nature's laws.

Just offering the subject - I'm sure someone's done a painting of the event.

If not, ask Habeeb or Cyst Master nicely, and I'm sure one of them will gladly provide their rendition.

"Were his actions selfish and unjust, or were they necessary for the eventual defeat of death?"

You phrased this as if it's a question between free will or determinism - choice or fate.
And I like that.

But:
Even if Judas was reluctant, he still went through with it.
That, and there are certainly other possible scenarios not involving Judas, to serve the same end.
Namely, ANYONE who knew what Jesus looked like could've identified him to the arresting soldiers.

Sure thing, Thorno. You have a painting in mind, too, or are you just offering the subject?

And that depends on how you want to read Judas, Coleslaw - as reluctant betrayer (Harvey Keitel in The Last Temptation of Christ) or active, soulless betrayer. Were his actions selfish and unjust, or were they necessary for the eventual defeat of death?
