hushed voices
anxious whispered prayers
living (and dying)
for their ancient faith
unwilling to refute
the God of their fathers
sacrificial lambs
led to slaughter
by fear's own hand
torturous deaths
christian martyrs
colliseum display
hungry crowds watch
in laughter and merriment
as faithful servants die
torn by lions
burned alive
human fights to the death
each sacrifice more gruesome
than the last
blood lust
thirst for vengeance
upon a gentle people
just living to serve their God
trusting eyes turned to heaven
knowing a glorious welcome waits
never denying
always proclaiming
God's divine plan
unable to speak an untruth
in exchange for life

hurried burials
in catacombs of darkness
each martyred soul
laid to rest with reverence and grief
as christian hearts sleep with God this night

Darkly Painful..yet so true, I'm afraid. Exellent work, Isabelle.

I'm speechless. Wow.
