THE LAST SUPPER

 It was a such quiet evening
With a clear sky
When the last supper was ready
For the Son divine.

Jesus came with His disciples
To the place prepared
Then in such a mellow voice
This to them He said:

Brothers mine, the time is here
For us to separate.
But you should not be in fear
For soon I will be back.

Everything that has been writen
Must be now fulfilled
I will be condemned to death
And on the Cross be nailed.

But, beforehand I must tell you
That you all may know
One among you will betray Me
For thirty silver coins.

Then at once they began turning
To their own Mentor
And took turns so each may ask Him:
Lord, who’s the traitor?

When the turn of Judas came
He asked the Teacher, too:
Lord, am I the son malicious
About to betray You?

Yes you are, the Lord told Judas
Go ahead, right now
Lo, for you the hour is here
To do what’s on your mind.

Then Judas went in a hury
To the elders’ court
Where they so much awaited
To put to death the Lord.

There the dishonest Judas
Sold his Lord as prey
And with a decceptive kiss

Him did he betray.

They judged Him and then and there
Senteced Him to die
On the Cross, in shame, that same day
To be crucified.
