KADDISH

Glorified and sanctified
is the name of War
throughout the world
that it has created
according to
our will,
throughout the death camps
and the prisons,
in the trenches,
in our homes.

It has established its kingdom
in our lifetime and
in our days,
within the life
of all nations;
and say, "casualties,"
when you mean
deaths that are not
a result of chance at all;
and say, "troops,"
when you really mean
soldiers,
men and women
following orders,
in the flower of
their youth

May there be
abundant peace
from heaven.
and life for us all.

He who creates peace
in His heavenly heights,
may He create peace for us
and for our neighbors:

for all our dreams,
both ours and theirs,
have been turned
to ashes;

and say, "Amen,"
and say, "Amen."
