That's What Makes a Martyr
A political poem by ED 5/18/22
With gas at four forty
Girls not lookin’ sporty
Covers of magazines
All thinking like machines
Kill babies save the bees
Uncensor the truth please
No one masks depression
Country in recession
Can’t find any blessing
Adults are regressing
They can’t take the pressure
When churned through the thresher
Separate goats from lambs
Run from battering rams
Admin’stration’s a joke
I’ll never bow to woke
Take a knee for my God
Dads ought not spare the rod
Laws should fight abortion
Primitive distortion
Of a truth objective
Perception's subjective
Try to make life harder
That’s what makes a martyr
I stand up for my faith
Shriek your hate like a wraith
Kill if only you could
I forgive it’s all good
If I die then I die
But I won’t live a lie.
