‘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.
