‘THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER’

A ruler of a state became Judas-

for thirty pieces of silver

he cheated the children of Jesus-

he allotted fertile lands for industrial growth.

The children became violent-

their sickles, axes and ploughs

were used completely for different purpose-

security, protection and safety.

But many children were crucified,

tears rolled down the cheeks of history.

With blessings of Jesus a new kingdom was established,

history smiled with happiness.

Here Jesus crucified Judas,

after three days Judas failed to appear

in midst of the children,

the evil power was forever gone.
