Mohammed

Would that on horses swifter than desire We rode behind Mohammed ’round the zones With swords unceasing, sowing fields of bones, Till New America, ancient Mizraim, Cry: “Allah is the God of Abraham.” God make our host relentless as the sun, Each soul your spear, your banner and your slave, God help us to be brave.
