***the Betrayer

Rating: 2.4


Tarry you here
And watch with me
Verily I say onto you
The shepherd will be smite
And the sheep of the flock shall scattered
Oh! My soul is exceeding sorrowful
Something is about to happen
The betrayer is far approaching
My sheep shall be scattered abroad
Steadily, steadfast they approach
Can this pass over me
Who can I confide?
My Trust, my believe
Now my betrayer
Deceitfulness has abound
Although is all Dajavu
Watch and tarry no more
Watch after my sheep
And here they come
My Trust, my Betrayer

This Biblical allusion encapsulates man's ordeal on earth. They dine with you and they betrays you. What can you do.
