Elegies to the martyrs

Elegies to the martyrs




Despite their deaths 
Their calls still resounding 
That in the hearts and minds of folks 
The struggle is still worth fighting 
That no matter they're gone 
The flames still burning 
As fighters continue resisting 
Doesn't mind the risk- the cause is worth fighting. 

The fields may be silent for now 
And news outlets remained mum 
While the order and its press releases 
Trying to shut the concerned down 
But the folk knew how cruel the order is 
Should these tyrants deserve trust?
Their slanderous messages steer anger 
Only fools would belive them most. 

But again no matter they're gone 
The flames continue to burn 
There is no need to mourn 
To fight for them yes as the cause has made them reborn 
As they themselves offered their blood, sweat, lives 
To the homeland tht's deserved of love 
And to the folk who still cries for help 
To the concerned who's willing to uprise 

Call it idealistic, or foolish 
As the order dismiss their views 
Of calling as subversives and misfits 
All because of their sociopatriotic beliefs 
Their love of home is more than the land 
But also that of the its kindred folk 
Thus no wonder why every tool becomes a weapon 
That realities turned bullets pointing to the tyrant as direction 

As their blood have tainted the land 
Soon comes another band 
With flames that bear in their hearts 
And Principles that etched in their minds 
The willingness to jump into the abyss 
As they endure the pain, suffering, hardships 
Death is only beginning to them 
As the concerned will traverse the road less taken


The news says they've died fighting 
And troll farms kept churning 
Statements enough to call a slander 
Comments justifying that gruesome matter 
By those claiming to be winning the peace 
At the expense of the deaths of papers torn into pieces
 The country presented new still at the appendage of the old 
Of tyrants pretentious appearing to be "remold" 

 The ones died in the scene enough to call heroes 
Despite dismissed as bandits like those from long ago 
Their passion and love for one's home has driven them to battle 
Winning the oppressed's hearts and minds in a protracted struggle 
They all came from various backgrounds rich or poor may say
 But the love of homeland and folk meant crossing the less taken way 
As turning their passions into weapons in this holy war 
Willing to jump into the abyss as that of reaching the stars 

 And now as they've left countless memories 
 Of numerous actions for those forging destinies 
Fighting over the They may be dead in eyes of this rotten order 
But no! They all live in the hearts of those who remember 
The friendship, love, passion, and will to revolution 
Against the endless cycle of injustice and oppression 
Like the heroes of the past, uncommon is their valour 
Amidst the risk, the pain, the fear and terror 
As notes turning into bullets by those whose hearts burning 
Striking the tyrants and its attack dogs, nightmares in this land of the morning
