Envy's Green Eyes
Thus, they crucified Him,
Because people loved Him;
Envy's green eyes couldn't
Endure His fame, popularity.
But, after His journey to
The celestial abode,
His sermons saved a thousand
Sinners from sure fall;
He loved people and told
To love and forgive the
Wrong-doers; Even He forgave
The disciples who betrayed
For a piece of silver!
He thought they were
Ignorant of their sin.
Being under the shadow
Of utter ignorance,
They couldn't define,
What was right or wrong;
The green eyes of jealousy
Never could jeopardize,
The name of God's Son.
He is immortal, the symbol
Of fraternity, universality...
His assassins got lost
Into the air of nothingness,
Enlisting their names
As the emblem of betrayal!
