Martyrdom Poems - Poems about Martyrdom


Martyrdom
All I have left is survivor's guilt. And the knowledge that everyone thinks I gave up. There was so much temptation to destroy what is left of my non-functioning mind. So that I would cross that finish line as a pile of metal bones....

Note: Expanded version of Mayfly Martyrs Such an ethereal beauty. Petite in size but large on life. One would not expect its duty is solely for procreation. Yes, just this one, and nothing more, certainty is its life’s station. Each stage is mostly aquatic, feeding on plants and detritus. Its life cycle quite dramatic. Swarming thick as oozing slurries, males hover above clear water. Intrigued, the young...

Pseudo Martyrdom
A scream of martyrdom, could be a collision, I've felt my colony and called them to die. Never I've seen on death so delightful breathing, when in heaven I said, what do you want to know? A blonde nymph spread legs, I gagged and climax, these holy wars lied down and still search for others. Roger roger roger, please...

Fatherhood Twice Over
Six children alive and sired Fathering three and tired The other three reject me A traitor in me, they see Married once; now again My sanity to regain At what cost to the kingdom My rejection of martyrdom The natural man waxes and wanes The spiritual man rises to higher planes I asked for as many as the stars To assuage my emotional scars...

Martyrdom
I walked out I walked towards a house of horror And ate at its gates for many years They gouged out my eyes And made me bleed rivers of blood from my mouth They drove six large spikes into my skull So as to affect my mind with horror They dragged me listless and faint through a dark street And crucified me on...

Leah Sharibu the Unsung Heroine
Intrepid damsel, a heroine unsung. A willing martyr with courage unrivalled. Unransomed captive with a ransom infinite. She gladly faces death with eternity in view. Like her lover before her, she chooses to be a sacrificial lamb to the slaughter. Leah Sharibu, the heroine unsung. She that chooses to mortify her passions for timeless paradise. Hardly daunted by Kalashnikovs and thunderous explosives, she inherits a world deemed abstract by unfaithful adherents....

Tom Mboya Ndiege
Tom Mboya, son of Ndiege From the craggy islands of Rusinga --the craddle of his progenitors He sprouts like avens in the loamy knoll And out to the urbs he sets off his journey A parlous journey to his martyrdom Look him; brilliant young man Valiantly he stands up Loaded with the spirit of flag-waving The hue and cry of freedom is fervid And he,...

Martyrdom

Another martyr created unintentionally By the foolish Blinded authorities A hallow champion for social wrongs A life Grabbed from the present And forced into the past The other side's new occupant A mascot for many seething wrongs A notorious black brother In a socially depraved environ Invades the nations psyche His already socially low value heavily Discounted by a...

Sinning Is the Only Path To Martyrdom
It’s an antichristian theory and method The way I give myself this plague Sickening solitary sustenance of my own sins An urchin warm within my spirit like a fetus in a womb It’s Godless; I’m Godless To glorify a madman It’s habitual To let the madman in...

Martyrdom
Dark and mysterious -- You are my greatest fear Rapt and enshrouded -- There's nothing I can hear Penetrating intersection exuding me dry Excruciating pain.. Oh! How I beg for peace.. Can you see my tears? They dried as I cry My clock is fading so, can I at last be at ease? Dovey Annie...
