Notes This poem references the parable 'Trees choosing a King' from The Book of Judges to address the theme of war. There is reference to the military power of the Mamluks and to modern-day warfare including airstrikes and the use of chemical weapons. There is also reference to mass displacement of people. The context of this poem appears to be the Syrian Civil War.
