Avi Cohen Poet Narrative

Jihad

Lord 
What we only did 
To the Native Indian 
The Aboriginal 
    To the Jew 
The Armenian 
“Just wars”
I come not to bring peace 
  I come not to bring peace 
I come not to bring peace 
  I come not to bring peace 
I come not to bring peace 
  I come not to bring peace 
I come not to bring peace 
  I come not to bring peace 
So pick up your sword to kill 
  The truce of God 
Shalt not be 
  No; here 
 In this holy war 
 Jihad 
    Lord 
 Master of Peace
    Creator of life 
        Death has come
