Martyrdom
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 bullet
Issued by agents of the state
A brother with a complex occupation
Surviving by means
Not much approved
The necessity of his plight
The seed of his infamy
