The Akeldama Of Obama Poem by Daniel Partlow

The Akeldama Of Obama



Judas took his silver bounty and bought with it a field
The betrayal of our Lord, deep in his heart concealed.
This 'field of blood'
of reddened mud
The Crucifixion of Christ it's yield

Now a modern Akeldama*,
Has been bought by Barak Obama.
What's on the range
Of his silvery 'change'?
How many crosses of unholy trauma?

Who will hang on the crosses of Obama?
Whose blood will run red in the new field of Akeldama*?

What Desolation will come from this Abomination**?
How much Desecration will be wrought by this Obama-Nation?

* Akeldama, the field of blood, was purchased by Judas with the silver he took from Caiaphus, the Jewish High Priest, in order to betray Jesus.

** Jesus foretold His return when the Abomination of Desolation is sitting where it oughtn't.

I have no doubt that some of the 'change' Obama has in store for this country will be a 'betrayal' in many ways.
