The poet explains the Judas feeling of being partial by his master who had given the priority for John to sit in his right. This was again the poets partial feeling even in his own homeland by the colonisers.He has said that the truth which is in the side of colonised is alays complicated in the foreign eyes. also the coloniser is the ''knowintg judge of man'' in the sense whart ever they say is believed by the world
A critical analysis of judas by Mervyn morris:
“Judas”, the poem was written by a Jamaican Mr. Mervyn Morris. Here the poet is Judas, who betrayed Jesus the Lord. He feels very strongly about the Lord who is all knowledgeable, bring into this world a person like Judas. He is angry with the Lord for this unexplained act.
He says he did not betray it was the Lord himself who is responsible. This is the irony. He feels that he served the Lord unconditionally but still the Lord seemed partial. He did not treat everyone equal. He is the one he coined the good and the bad people, the haves and the have nots.
