Elf's Martyr

Sacrificial sojourns
taken for granted
But never taken lightly
By the suicidal few
who stand guard
at the edges of a cause
~
Arrow tips pointed skyward
As if to fling their darts
At an indifferent god
Struck down
At the appointed hour
Their names bespoke no more
~
Martyr Martyr
Where are you sleeping?
Martyr Martyr
Is this in keeping
With the pledges you gave
So freely so gravely?
~
Elf warrior
Make yourself heard
Among the many humans
Who can drown out
Your sacred words
