Martyrdom

To whom we reward martyrdom, only

To the one who died for a cause

To the one who died for others

To the one who died for an ideology 

To the one who got killed by an adversary 

To the one who died saving others, but

Why not to the one who died for nothing

Who died for no reason or ideology, yet

Whose death invariably benefits the planet?

Martyrdom is one more trait that

Lies in the eyes of the beholder.
