Water

If Judas's rope was frayed or his tree branch broke He could have walked among the common people And if Pontius Pilate was forgiven because he dipped his hands in water Could Judas have been granted access to this water Or would his blood itself suffice to cleanse the man of his sins And did Mr. Pilate have water brought to him by armies and officers And is suicide the sin for the common man Would choking down bleach make a child a sinner If they were a child of man. Is there innocence to be found in a psychology textbook And a trial at the pearly gates Were you too lost to know that you were sinning Can you be fucked up enough to earn forgiving Can you be loved without first being hated Can you be cleansed without first being ruined And is there enough water for everyone Do I know what I am doing?
