JUDAS AND CHRIST
As I like, to pain I go,
And from pain I flee again;
Living in rage, quarrels I owe,
To turn a Dervish really tamed.
Harshly, I threaten my tribe,
And in tears I forgive them;
In repentance I go to Christ,
Fleeing from Him, Satan again.
Hashing at rest, I run in fatigue,
One I fix, the other I slice;
Gathering flowers, I want a leech,
Cave of life – Judas and Christ!…
