to die for their sins.
Another slaughter.
A sullied daughter.

Martyr
Autumn declines and the Lover falls
Heroes die and duty calls
Martyrs are men who have lost it all
fighting senselessly in political brawls...

29th February
To deprive people a martyr day each year 
Or as a husband to save some money 
You either marry me or hang me 
But fixed the date on 29th February....

The Devil's Rooster
THE DEVIL’S ROOSTER

	Basel put on trial
	Rooster lays the devil’s egg.
	Danger averted,
	Burned at the stake like martyr.
	Swiss farmers can rest easy....

A Sleeping Martyr
In the hotel room
You feel more at home

You sleep better without

Without anything
Without everything

Without real life

Depriving yourself 
As martyrs often do...

An apostle of the Lord
Friend & close colleague of Paul,
Proclaiming gospels truths,was no easy call;
Junia,just a lass,Judah was her home,
A martyr for her faith
Whilst incarcerated in Rome....

Grimoire
A demon leaps up from the pages,
Long ages
Waiting for his invitation:
Your invocation.

Too late you slam shut both the covers;
He hovers
Giving you gold in a barter:
Your soul’s the martyr....

Self-sacrifice is the oyster’s lot; this ocean martyr spends its life, dedicated to its art. Its sculptures of abalone and pearl; grace softly, human skin, with a luster bright.

Let the Fun Begin
A new life has started
I have stopped being a martyr
If you wanna know
what's my selfcontrol
or what are my thoughts
You will be given here lots
And in the end- please do enjoy
Because the word is my favourite toy!...

Premium Member Martyr Grandma
mob
frenzy
off the chain
out of their minds
making bad choices
my grandmother spoke up
she used the golden rule
dispersing them with her wisdom
she was the only one who stopped it
she had never been a martyr before…....

History
Acceding blight, civilization despair.
Entwining fallacy, germinating history.
Ideology jaded, kill-joy labored.
Martyr naught.
Obstinate paladin, quick rumbling spreads,
tense unattainable vicious warning.
Xenophobia yap zipped....

Martyr
It is better to sacrifice-

Rather than have everything taken away. 

It is better to give up everything while still coherent. 

So that when I wake up to no one by my side-

I can at least have my dignity. 

Oh, to be a martyr....

A Noble Sacrifice
Either a saint or a satyr,
   No one brave enough to steer;
'Til you ended as a martyr,
   Loved enormously to be a peer;
Like the same birds flock together,
   Only to learn being plucked for feathers,
      Endless despair forever....

And the Award For Best Saviour Goes To
A revolution just a turn
a cause just a principle aimed
A martyr a cross between a mouse and a satyr
the licking of lips a salvation
Des is so tiny
And at just the middle of fate
The dome that set me free
the only place you wont find me...
