| Message and the Martyr
They tried to kill the message By knocking off the messengers Murder maimed slathered slain Killed off leaders as their words of truth made them ashamed Reworded misinterpreted blurred the words they heard Then tried to market that mess to the mass through trash But when the people learned the truth they jumped from their *** Stood on the facts guided by the message that still lasts Taught it to their kids making sure they got the lesson The killing of warrior’s generals and kings Only brought the words left the power of right So let this be a lesson to those trying to hide the light Martyrs as fragile but words are immortal No read them in fright Jalili B.
