I can never be bought,
Not by anyone
I am a bishop and not a pawn,
And I am not a Judas, but Lot.
I am not a betrayer,
No matter of the crime or the sin
That curse it holds is deep within,
I always have my honor and prayer.
I can be caused to ache,
And I can be given great pain
But, I will always be trustworthy and sane,
And I won't become a snake.
I can be cursed by a witch,
I can be tortured and also beaten
Poison I could have eaten,
But, I will not ever become a snitch.
I am a confidant and a believer,
I was never a gossip or a tattle tale
Even if it meant that last coffin nail,
I am not an informant or a deceiver.
I will not forsake any of us,
I will not seek revenge for payback
Nor will I befriend and then stab you in the back;
I am no Judas.
