It's gotten to the point I always know who wrote these pieces that use rhymes more suited for speaking or singing, since it's more obvious in written form that they don't really rhyme. The rhythm is also irregular, which makes me wonder why it was necessary to manhandle some phrasings (death by on the cross to be deliver) in order to fit it into one.

So, a comical take on what the thirty pieces of silver were for. Because of the subject matter, there will be readers who will like it no matter whether it's funny or not, and people who will hate it on principle. I think it would have helped a bit to expand on what Peter's beef was. Did they exclude him on purpose, or did he just miss it by chance? Or would he have disapproved of them smoking? Though I do have to ask what it is that Peter wrote. He's not the author of any of the gospels, and Judas isn't mentioned in his letters. I'm guessing that you're just being random for a lot of it (like using Haiti, which obviously wouldn't have existed then).

I like the tone of this one, and I'm going to venture a guess that it's aligned with a theory that Judas was part of an organization that was trying to spur change, and so wasn't acting as a betrayer, but as someone who felt like he needed to be the charge that would set things in motion to achieve the desired end. Either way, it does take a sympathetic view of him (and to be sure, even if he had malicious intent, it was still the way things were supposed to go).

The imagery and word choice here create an interesting effect, where they're about tumultuous things, but still have a smoother, gentler feel to them. I don't know that there's any sort of formal structure, so I'm treating it more as free verse. This was an enjoyable read.

I'm a dumb person who is over compensating for a lot. Cue the rough ABAB ABAB ABAB ABAB ABAB noise. They sound good when you say these lines out loud - singing not so much. Raping yo? Yo! Well if you have someone high, the poem rolls off the tongue great. Reason why I don't do drugs is because I always sound like I'm strung out on them.

Whipped this up in 30 to 45 mins and my choices that I could pull off were limited. Something rough like this that I had interest in or the Lady Gaga song which I had NOOOooo interest into making a poem. First thing I think of when it comes to Jesus and Judus is weed. Song is fun, the video is trashy and I doubt anyone would get it.

In seriousness Peter had pride issue during his lifetime. His main betray was that he denied the Lord three times to save his skin. Still became a major leader in the early days. Did write a couple books with a bunch of other people (Mother Mary, Wife Mary and Judus), but later church leadership condense 'em or had them forbidden.
