# 145 Martyrdom

Armored with recklessness,
Trained to seek and destroy darkness.
A soldier of Christ's kingdom,
Ready to be martyred for others' freedom.Brought forth a sword to the neck,
Targeted point-blank, a gun at the back.
Drifted on the sea over sun and moon,
Pain and sleepless nights after departing the silver spoon.
Besides bringing a Bible and a knife, nothing,
Maybe just some survivor skills from scouting.
Then, ventured into the woods ready to be speared,
Climbing up to the mountain where Christ appeared.
Striking a flag stating His name on the top,
Even if arrows of unbelievers where to be shot.Persecuted by faith, challenged by belief,
At times i wonder: "where's the beef?",
Still, i gripped on so tight,
Knowing that it's is right.
Just like holding on to the things I find so dear,
Even if the package comes with pain and fear.


Man of my own.
