Divergant Paths Poem by Alem Hailu Gabre Kristos

Though among the chosen,
Judah opted to cross floor,
Out of his way
Heading to the path of the fallen!

In a spectacular way
Breaking loose from
The tight grip of the fallen,
Mary Magdalene braved
The ardours track of the chosen!

Heedless to a heavenly
Crown at hand,
Judah hankered
For a monetary reward
Giving attention
To soul's worth,
Mary Magdalene
Gave a red card
To her cherished perfume,
Though to procure it
She saved hard.

It was with a kiss
'This is He
You should not miss!
Now, given task is accomplished
Give me the 30 Birr please! '
Judah betrayed Christ.
Repentant, while
Mary Magdalene
Washed Christ feet's
With tears.

Regretful Judah
Put a noose around his neck,
While, Mary Magdalene happily
Saw the resurrection of
Christ before a daybreak!
