Undyingness
Tortured gradually for years to deathand finally murdered the Gestapo way
by cooling down to freezing point
and then by hitting hard against the heart
to make a heart attack come natural
concealing the unnatural death by diabolical contrivance,
thus launching the doomed martyr into immortality -
"When a tyrant dies, his tyranny dies with him,
but when a martyr dies, his realm and rule begins."
His soul goes marching on forever,
and his glory will increase and go on growing
to a universal level of importance and significance,
since he will always be remembered with increasing warmth,
while the other one will be forgotten
with a vengeance and a constant curse.
