martyrs

to all the martyrs 
of the 
          Revolution, 
did you sacrifice 
your 
          lives 
for the Revolution 
to be 
          unfinished 
and longest running? 
for an eventual 
          human existence 
where 
it is easier to imagine the end of the world 
than it is to imagine the end of capitalism?
and must 
          my heart 
eternally 
          bleed 
each day, 
each year 
for a new 
          martyr?
