Not the first war that seems like a complete waste of human life. And not the last.

WW1 was a waste and a pointless war. Many leaders have a lot to answer for. Millions of young boys died so what? Leaders could gain more land? Show off how powerful their militarized nations where? I for one wish the USA never got involved in WW1 but stayed out of it.

Wilfred Owen was an amazing poet, his poems are brilliant. His poems should be put slap bang right in front of every prime minister, president, king or queen that decide to send their people to war, if they can handle the outcome why don't they go to war themselves.

Owen's mother recieved news of her son's death just as Armistice bells were ringing out in celebration of the end of the war.
Life is too cruel sometimes.

We've all seen somebody we love, or somebody once lovely, dead, right? I don't think anybody has ever written more beautifully on that horrid, most basic human feeling than Owen, in "Futility":
"Oh, what made fatuous sunbeams toil
to break earth's sleep at all?"

I'm glad you enjoyed it - it's amazing how much work can go into something so short! :) I put this together for a poetry class I took this last term.
Thanks for letting me know someone else enjoys Owen as well!
