The colour of betrayal

 

 

Betrayal comes easy
For the immoral

A mere thirty silver coins was all that it took
For Judas to betray the Son of God

Betrayal is second nature
For the depraved

Being the Nawab of Bengal was the only motivation
For Mir Jafar to betray India

Betrayal is misplaced
For the weak minded

A false sense superiority was the driving force
For Brutus to betray Caesar

Treachery is painful
To those who trusted

The sting of betrayal
Will never fade away

A new dawn
Will never erase the stigma
And the colour of your betrayal
