Best Martyrdom Poems

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...

My name is Judas
betrayer of God
everyone hates me
yet thats not as much
as I hate myself
and everything else
until its just a word
that cannot be felt

I can't be accountable
to a single action
thats unchangeable
I wish you would cast off
into a river of ashes
and cover your body
until the sorrow...

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...

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...

  He courageously bartered...

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...

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...

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...

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....

When you're full of sad
Just open up a vein
And empty it all into the toilet.
There is bliss in lightheadedness
Fading into perpetual
Slumbering ease....

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...

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...

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...
