Eyes will not turn away
Concealing light creates its seekers
Learning truth comes with a heavy price
Irises burn to milky white
Prophets are not welcome in their hometown
Scillitan Martyrs are born not made
End of these festering days

Beautiful!
I never heard of Scillitan Martyrs either - good poem in which to add them!
Scillitan Martyrs - I had never heard of them until I read this. Thanks! And I love your title!
