Jerusalem Weeps [Judas Iscariot] Poetic Prose

JUDAS: what luck have I, a fisherman, to save the world through me; oh, I must be the prophet of doom, for doom is what will save the world, through my surreptitious knowledge which will be light onto the world someday. A small gift for honest eyes. I heard the voice, it sounds cruel I know, I am Judas Iscariot, who shall take my place!~? There is none, not one willing to. My father as you know was and is a simple storekeeper, he will be proud once he knows the reasoning. [Says Judas, enthusiastically to Peter, by the temple in Jerusalem, in an alley.]

PETER:
