We mistake ourselves
Thirty silver pieces and
Judas betrayed Jesus.
Before the cockcrow, Peter
denied Him thrice.
And so shall you and I, now
and ever
unto our last breath and for
the same reason –
not because we are merely
human
but because (as per Meher)
we mistake ourselves for being
merely human.
Not our fault but our fate as
provisional creatures
turning to shout and swear: I know Him not!
Sealing our betrayal, not
upon our tongues
but in our depths (such as
they are)
as we embrace, in our Lord’s
stead,
our own frailties, denying
His presence
within us, His love and our Oneness.
O child of God, you perform
the part
assigned to you by Whim and Destiny.
