If You'Re A Martyr

If you're a martyr, they'll put your picture online- If you're a Rachel from Columbine; If you're a Rachel from the Gaza Sinai- If you're a martyr, they'll put their hands in your side; Expect you to change water to wine. If you're a martyr, on your wounds they'll dine- Don't name your daughters Rachel you should not ask why. If you're a martyr, they'll put your whole life in print- Like papyrus tombs; like the scrolls intent, From Caesar to the Christians; and the curtain's rent- If a Mary or a Peter, everywhere he went- Washing Jesus feet while all his blood was lent And all the airborne angels then would greatly lament Don't name your children Jesus- they will not relent-
