    My favorite martyrs

    Thomas died the kings good servant

    But Gods first

    Unable to compromise his conscience

    Unable to be coerced

    And lost his head at the command of a friend

    As a result of perjury and Cromwell’s treachery

    Who ironically met with the same unjust end

     


    Joan was the hero of Orleans

    With faith unparalleled

    And fought to reinstate the Dauphine

    After her capture at Burgundy

    Charles could not part with the means

    To release his champion

    So she burned as a heretic, with no sin committed

    Then 27 years later posthumously acquitted

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
