@adaveen And don't forget about the waking up to the screams of children! Every god damn night I hear that in my hell driven memories, and it damns my heart knowing I could have saved those little Saigon children from the Reebok factory. So, for you see I truly understand this poem and its genocide references, and don't pretend none of us heard that! God Speed

I think he can relate to the poem in the lack of enthusiasm young people have in life:
-"I knew a simple soldier boy, who grinned trough life in empty joy..".
Nowadays, young people live trough their own, personal wars, dreams, and objectives, which have nothing to do with what society expects from them, but they're thrown anyway into this life, which has nothing they've expected from it, that's why a lot of young people fell in depression:
"The hell where youth and laughter go."

This rendition if so beautiful. It inspired me to right a poem based on this about modern society's view on war. I want to post it here but it's too long :(
-
did you knew that Carl taught him that poem just before they got on stage at the 2004 NME awards? Carl wrote it in his book...
-
@thomasrix he's lasted thus far and will a long time still. x

Ironic that doherty wouldn't be fit for duty. How long would he last on a battlefield I wonder.

@thomasrix I don't think you understand what the poem's about. I'm a veteran myself and it's very clear to me that the poem (and Doherty) recognizes that war is such a horrible thing that you almost don't WANT to survive it, because you don't want to live with the memory of it and the violent way the experience rapes your mind. As a veteran, I have to say that Doherty "gets" this more than you do. But then, his dad was a soldier.

Why is he reciting this? And why did he recite it on the Nme awards? Is there any reason? Or does he just really like the poem?

I think he just really likes the poem. :)
