Thomas Merton's Martyrdom

 

They say his death was meaningless.

That's what they want us to swallow.

But in light of all the evidence,

Their argument rings hollow.

 

His life was full of purpose,

But we must to the world confide:

His words had no more meaning

Than the things for which he died.

 

David Martin
